Abstract

Mobile radio systems are usually designed on the basis of providing adequate reception quality to a specified area. The outage probability equations are used to determine the quality of radio reception when that quality is limited by a minimum required signal level, interference from a cochannel transmitter, and variability in the received signal levels. Considering Rayleigh fading and lognormal shadowing as joint causes of signal variation, average outage probability expressions are derived for mobile radio systems of a uniform nature. These expressions are used to investigate the influence of various system and propagation characteristics on reception quality
