Abstract

An indoor communication channel is characterised by large propagation losses, slow time variations, a multipath nature and fading. We present a new cellular concept for indoor communications. A concentric circular model is the basic cell structure which consists of two or three concentric zones, operating in different frequencies, under the CDMA environment. Each user of this CDMA system employs a direct sequence spread spectrum waveform and does not occupy the entire allocated spectrum of the cell, but occupies a part of it, corresponding to each of the two or three frequency zones. Via a geometric analysis of the cell, we derived formulas for the system capacity and for the performance of this new cellular structure
