Abstract :
This paper illustrates the impact of base station deployment on the performance of an indoor DS-CDMA system. It is shown that system performance can be altered dramatically by changing the base station configuration. Correlated shadowing is a significant factor contributing to the wide range of performance results. Outage probability analyses indicate that substantial capacity improvements can be achieved at the expense of increased complexity in the base station deployment scheme
