Performance evaluation of random power assignment scheme on cellular mobile communications with finite population

Abstract

Power assignment schemes are man-made method to enhance the capture effect of contention-based multiple access systems while Rayleigh fading, neadfar effect, and shadow fading are natural factors to cause the capture effect in radio communications. In this paper, the combined impact of natural and man-made capture effects on the perfor" of a cellular system with finite population is studied. A Markov model is used to carry out. the system throughput and delay. Some numerical calculations are used to demonstrate the degree of performance improvement.
