Wireless local loop (WLL) provides reliable, flexible, and economical access to the local telephone service using radio technologyin the place of traditional wireline. In this paper, an analytical model is derived to evaluate the effect of both imperfect powercontrol and imperfect sectorization on the performance of code division multiple access (CDMA) WLL systems. The resultsshow that the capacity degradation, due to imperfect power control, is about 25.8% and 11.5% for single cell and multiple cellsystems, respectively. Increasing the overlapping angle from 0◦ to 5◦ causes the capacity gain to decrease from 6 to 5.53, while thecorresponding sectorization efficiency drops from 100% to 92.3%.

1. Introduction
Wireless local loop (WLL) is a system that connects sub-scribers to the public switched telephone network (PSTN)using radio signals as a substitute for wireline for all or part ofthe connection between the subscribers and the switch. It isbelieved to be a fast and cost-effective mean to provide localphone service in rural areas and third world countries [1].Since WLL is a fixed radio communication system; narrow-beam antennas can be employed at both the base station(BS) and subscriber’s side so that the propagation betweenBS and subscriber’s equipment is very close to free spacepropagation. This gives many inherent advantages to theWLL system over the traditional cellular systems, such aswider coverage area, reduced interference, higher capacity,no fast fading, and no handoff [2, 3].
CDMA technology has the potential to provide a signif-icant improvement in the capacity of cellular radio systemscompared with FDMA and TDMA systems [4]. However,this improvement is dependent upon the effectiveness of thepower control system, especially on the reverse link. In theabsence of power control, a BS would receive a much strongersignal from a subscriber unit that is geographically close to itthan from a subscriber unit that is farther away. This is theso-called near-far problem [5, 6].
This paper presents a theoretical model to evaluate thereverse-link capacity of CDMA WLL systems in terms ofoutage probability, taking into account the power controlerror.
Sectorization in cellular CDMA systems increases thecapacity in proportion to the number of sectors per cell.In practice, the antenna patterns do not fit the sectorarea perfectly, and there are overlapping between sectors,which causes additional interference on both the reverse andforward link [7]. The imperfect sectorization effect on theperformance of CDMA WLL systems is also considered.
2. Effect of Imperfect Power Control inSingle Cell CDMA WLL Systems
Consider a CDMA WLL single cell system consists of Nsubscriber units transmitting to a BS receiver on the reverse-link. A simplified CDMA transmitter is shown in Figure 1.
The signal transmitted from the ith user to its BS is givenby [5]

The received signal at the BS receiver Rup(t) consists ofthe following: interference from other users in the cell whichcalled intracell interference, the receiver noise n(t), and thereceived signal from the desired user.
From Figure 2, Rup(t) is given by
Rup(t) =N−1∑
i=0

)+ n(t), (2)
where ai represents the path loss of the ith user, τi is therandom delay of the ith user signal at the receiver, and n(t) isthe additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) of the receiver.
The signal at the output of the matched filter is given by

where θ is the carrier phase angle in the receiver as shown inFigure 2.

2.1. Perfect Power Control
To reduce the near-far problem, as well as the interferencefrom other users and hence to increase the capacity of CDMAWLL system, it is important to apply a power control on thereverse link so that the received power from each user at theBS is controlled to be the constant target power, S, [5] where
a2i Ai = S for i = 0, 1, . . . ,N − 1. (5)
The total noise power is the sum of the intracell interferencepower and the AWGN power of the receiver.
The AWGN power at the output of the matched filter isgiven by [5, 7] as
η = NoRb =(No
Tc
)TcRb = NoW
Gp, (6)
where Rb = 1/Tb is the bitrate of the message sequence bi(t),W = 1/Tc is the chiprate, and N0W is the noise power at thereceiver input.
Thus, after despreading, the noise power η is the inputnoise power decreased by the processing gain Gp = Tb/Tc.The intracell interference power is given by [5]
Iint = var(Zint(t)
) = 1Gp
N−1∑
i=1
a2i Ai, (7)
where var(Zint(t)) is the variance of intracell interference atthe output of the matched filter.
By applying voice activity detection, users transmit onlywhen speech signal is present. We introduce a voice activityvariable (VAF) vi which equals 1 with probability of μ, andequals 0 with probability of 1 − μ. By multiplying (7) by viand using (5) so,
Iint
S= 1Gp
N−1∑
i=1
via2i AiS

N−1∑
i=1
vi, (8)
the intracell interference to signal power ratio given by (8)is reduced by a factor of Gp after the process of matchedfiltering. Now, we define the ratio Eb/Io, which is the energyper bit to interference density ratio, where Eb = STb, I0 =I/Rb = ITb, and I is the total interference power (sum of Iint
and η) so
EbI0= S
I= 1Iint/S + η/S
. (9)
In (8), the summation of vi over (N − 1) users may beexpressed as
N−1∑
i=1
vi = μ(N − 1), (10)
so that
EbI0= 1μ(N − 1)/Gp + η/S

The bit error rate (BER) for the binary phase shift keying(BPSK) modulation can be expressed as
Pb = 12
erfc
(√EbI0
), (12)
where erfc(σ) is the complementary error function [5]. For arequired BER, a required Eb/Io, (Eb/Io)req can be determinedfrom (12). Given (Eb/Io)req, the maximum number of activeusers, other than the ith user, that can be supported by thesystem is given by (11) as

2.2. Imperfect Power Control
In a practical system, the power control is not perfect. So, thereceived signal power from the ith user at its BS will differfrom the target power level S by δi dB. This power errorδi is a random variable with a standard deviation σe. Thereare several reasons for δi being nonzero, such as the powermeasurement error at the BS and the inability to adjust thesubscriber unit transmitted power sufficiently fast to force δito zero [5, 8]. The signal power at the output of the matchedfilter for the ith user can be expressed as
S′ = 10δ0/10 · S, (16)
and the intracell interference power is
I′int =1Gp
N−1∑

The intracell interference to signal power ratio at the outputof matched filter becomes

where δ0 and δi are two mutually independent randomvariables of power control errors of the signal and theintracell interferers, respectively. By setting ε = δi − δ0 (18)becomes

)
imp= 1I′int/S′ + η/S′
= 1(Iint/S
)10ε/10 + η/S′
. (20)
In order to evaluate the system performance, we intro-duce the outage probability that is defined as the probabilityof a system’s BER being greater than 10−3, that is,
Pout = Pr(BER > 10−3)

The performance of the reverse link in a single cell CDMAWLL system, shown in Figure 3, is evaluated for 20 dB/dec,where WLL has a fixed-to-fixed link so propagation exponentof 2 is used [2], Eb/Io = 5 dB [9], W = 1.25 MHz, Rb =8 Kbps, VAF = 3/8, a signal-to-AWGN ratio of 20 dB at theoutput of the matched filter and a BER outage threshold of10−3 were used in the calculations.
For perfect power control and an outage probability of2%, the single cell system can support up to 89 users/cell asshown in Figure 3. The outage probability of the imperfectpower-controlled system having different standard devia-tions of power control error is also shown in the figure. Foran outage probability of 2% and a standard deviation ofpower control errors of 2 dB, the system can support 66 usersper cell. The capacity degradation, due to imperfect powercontrol, is about 25%.
Table 1 shows the number of users per cell for differentvalues of the standard deviation (STD) of power controlerrors and the percentage decrease in users due to imperfectpower control, for an outage of 2%.

The performance of the reverse-link CDMA WLL systemis shown in Figure 6. For an outage probability of 2%, theperfect power-controlled system can support 52 users/cell fora VAF of 3/8. The number of users per cell for different valuesof the standard deviation of power control errors and thepercentage decrease in users, due to imperfect power control,are displayed in Table 2 for an outage of 2%.

of practical antenna, the BS still receives some interferencefrom users in other sectors [11, 12].
Figure 7 shows a sectorized cell arrangement having Ns
overlapping sectors, each with an angle of (2π/Ns)+θ0, whereθ0 is the overlapping angle. If there is no overlapping, that is,θ0 = 0, then 1/Ns of the total interference is received, andthe capacity gain, due to sectorization, is Ns times that of anunsectorized cell.
In a sectorized cell, only (2π/Ns)+θ0/2π of the total inter-ference from the surrounding is received. For this condition,the capacity gain, due to sectorization, is 2π/(2π/Ns) + θ0
times that of the unsectorized cell.We define the efficiency of sectorization es as the ratio of
the capacity gain with the sector antennae pattern having anoverlapping angle θ0 to the nonoverlapping antennae patternof 2π/Ns, so
es =2π/
(2π/Ns + θ0
)
2π/(2π/Ns
) = 2π/Ns
2π/Ns + θ0. (49)
So, the imperfect sectorization capacity gain Gimp will be
Gimp = Nses. (50)
In WLL system, due to fixed-to-fixed link, six sectors percell arrangement can be used, the capacity gain due tosectorization and its corresponding sectorization efficiencyfor different values of overlapping angle θ0 in degrees isshown in Figure 8. From the figure, the interference on thereverse link increases as the overlapping angle θ0 is increased,which causes the capacity gain and sectorization efficiency todecrease proportionally. Increasing θ0 from 0◦ to 5◦ causesthe capacity gain to decrease from 6 to 5.53, while thecorresponding sectorization efficiency drops from 100% to92.3%.

5. Conclusion
CDMA technology has the potential to provide a significantimprovement in the capacity of WLL systems compared withFDMA and TDMA systems. However, this improvementis dependent upon the effectiveness of the power controlsystem, especially on the reverse link. In this paper, atheoretical model to evaluate the reverse-link capacity ofCDMA WLL systems in terms of outage probability, takinginto account the power control error, is obtained.The resultsshow that the capacity degradation, due to imperfect powercontrol, is about 25.8%, and 11.5% for single cell andmultiple cell systems, respectively. The effect of imperfectsectorization on the performance of CDMA WLL systemsis also considered. The interference on the reverse linkincreases as the overlapping angle is increased, which causesthe capacity gain and sectorization efficiency to decreaseproportionally as shown in Figure 8.
