Abstract :
Most analytical models for the evaluation of convergence and capacity of WCDMA systems aim at evaluating only the outage probability of a given cellular deployment scenario. This is not in line with the ETSI guidelines for performance evaluation, which state that the coverage and the capacity of the system should be measured in terms of a given percentage of unsatisfied users. In this paper, we elaborate an analytical model capable of giving such a figure. In addition, a comparison between analytical and simulation results confirms the validity of the proposed model.
