Abstract

This letter proposes an approximation method by characteristic function (AM-CF) method to approximate the distribution of interference in DS/CDMA cellular systems. This method considers the effects of frequency-selective multipath fading; it also assumes perfect power control and a rectangular/sine chip waveform. The AM-CF method can yield results that fit the Monte Carlo simulation results more accurately than the conventional standard Gaussian approximation method.
