Abstract

The driving forces behind the development of new broadband access systems are telecommunication operator requirements for access systems as well as users´ increased bandwidth demands. In this context, broadband wireless systems such as LMDS (local multipoint distribution system) are competitive and complementary techniques to copper and fiber access. LMDS networks using wide-beam radio node antennas have a capacity asymmetry in up-link/down-link due to up-link interference limitation. C/I-simulations have been performed in up-link for both sector-beam and multiple-beam radio node antennas to compare the performance. It is expected that multi-beam antennas can be used to reduce the interference level in up-link. The up-link C/I-performance of a cellular network with irregular positioned hubs is analyzed, both for sector and three-beam node antennas.
