Hy. Fu et al., EFFECT OF MULTIPLE-ACCESS INTERFERENCE ON PERFORMANCE OF MULTIBEAM CDMA-BASED LEO SATELLITE SYSTEMS, Electronics Letters, 34(2), 1998, pp. 149-150
A practical model is presented for analysing the multiple access inter
ference due to all visible interfering users in CDMA-based multispot b
eam LEO satellite systems. The authors calculate the average bit error
rate with perfect power control for different numbers of interfering
users, showing that the amount of MAI has a substantial effect on the
system capacity.
