Abstract :
The concept of a multi-cell environment for an MC-CDMA downlink scenario is presented; it is based on a propagation model taking into account path loss and shadowing. The interference of adjacent cells is studied and the Gaussian approximation (GA) is investigated for simplifying the interference simulation. The major influence of the interfering cells is restricted to the peripheral area of the desired cell. In particular, it is shown, by simulations, that the GA for the impinged interference signals is an appropriate assumption. This drastically decreases the simulation complexity for a high number of interfering cells, e.g., one or two tiers around the desired cell.
