Performance evaluation of the forward link high data-rate packet services of a CDMA urban microcellular system

We evaluate the performance of the burst admission algorithms for high data-rate (HDR) packet services in the forward link of a code division multiple access (CDMA) microcellular system using a mix of static and dynamic simulation approaches. We consider the ideal Manhattan-like street pattern, so two cell plans are considered, full-square and half-square cell plans. To obtain capacity and coverage plots for-high-speed data, we use static simulations. To show the time correlations of the signal due to fading and mobility and in order to understand the impact of the variation of the environment on the high-speed data performance, we also use a dynamic simulation approach to enhance our results.
