Abstract :
A model for a code division multiple access (CDMA) packet radio network in which users are organized, by geography or some other criteria, into multiple clusters or cells, is presented. Each cell contains a base station through which all user communications occur. Inter-cell connectivity is provided by a backbone network of the base stations. In this network, downlink (base station-to-user) transmissions suffer from head-of-line blocking. Taking this into account, the maximum system throughput is found. Tight upper bounds for the maximum system throughput are also found using a much simpler analysis
