Summary: 
This paper presents a numerical analysis of reverse link capacity by obtaining a closed form of ICI (InterCell Interference) over OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing)-based broadband wireless networks. In the analysis, shadowing factors are taken into account for determining the home BS (Base Station) of each MS (Mobile Station) over multicell environments. Under the consideration, a more accurate analysis of link capacity can be performed compared to Gilhousen's approximation. In the numerical results, it turns out that the actual interference is lower than Gilhousen's approximation with a decrease of around 20% in the interference.
