Abstract

Mobile CDMA cellular networks for tactical applications require base-station mobility in order to provide communications on the move. Because of the mobility of the base stations and the lack of a high-speed wire-line network between base stations, handoff of mobiles among base stations is more difficult than in a commercial CDMA cellular network. In this paper, we examine the performance of the reverse links in a tactical CDMA cellular network using continuous transmission for packet data communications. In particular, we consider the effect of limited handoff capability on the reverse-link capacity of the network.
