Abstract:
A system ( ) provides a network designer with a mechanism by which to quickly estimate the performance of a code division multiple access wireless communication network. The system ( ) allows the designer to enter a group of network and sector parameters. Based on these parameters, the user can choose one of three methods depending on a desire for speed, accuracy, and generality of result. The system ( ) determines the pilot strength and interference for each location in the network. The system ( ) determines pilot strength to interference values for each location. The system ( ) estimates the performance of the communication network using these determined values and accounting for user-defined network parameters.
