OUTAGE PROBABILITY IN MOBILE PACKET RADIO NETWORKS WITH INTERFERERS DISTRIBUTED ALONG A STRAIGHT-LINE

The performance evaluation of a packet radio mobile communications sys tem, in terms of outage probability, is considered.The mobiles are ass umed to be located along an indefinitely long straight line, according to a Poisson point process. The analysis applies to different cellula r structures, and allows comparisons among them, in which bandwidth co nstraints are also taken into account. The choice of intensively reusi ng the whole frequency band turns out to be more efficient than provid ing a large separation between cochannel cells. A real-world example s hows that cellular systems of this sort can achieve satisfactory perfo rmance as well as considerable capacity.
