Performance analysis of a DS-CDMA packet cellular/PCS network in a multi-rate multi-user environment

The delay, throughput and capacity analysis of a DS-CDMA packet cellular network is carried out in this paper. A mix of data and voice user classes is assumed. Error free communication is required for the data users but is not delay sensitive while voice applications allow some degree of error but is delay sensitive. The QoS for data users is therefore the delay while for voice it is the bit error rate (BER).
