Exact analysis of the outage probability in multiple-user mobile radio

A novel mathematical method is presented to express the outage probability for a desired radio signal received from a mobile transmitter in the presence of multiple interfering signals with combined log-normal and Rayleigh fading. In contrast to previously reported analyses, this exact method avoids approximation of the PDF of the received powers of the various signals. This is useful in determining the spectrum efficiency and performance of (interference-limited) radio networks for high-capacity cellular telephony, two-way paging, packet radio and other mobile data networks.<
