CDMA Radio with Repeaters

This book analyzes the interaction of the CDMA system within a mobile channel environment, emphasizing repeaters, diversities, and other performance-enhancing means. The authors provide a unique and clear description of repeater-embedded networks' planning, design, and optimization in different scenarios. Simple physically-based expressions are developed and supported by extensive field experience, and provide insight into the network dynamics.

"The book addresses the role of repeaters in the CDMA network, their interaction with the network and the needed integrative design and optimization of the repeater-embedded network. The approach of the book is to develop functional comprehension of the complex radio network, and affinity to the factors dominating the Radio Resource Utilization. Simple models are developed, recognizing that over-complex models and simulations lack the clarity of the underlying processes while failing to match the measured performance anyhow. Field-measured case studies complement the analysis, and methodology for use of dynamically measured network parameters in tuning and optimizing the network is laid out.
