A note on the Mean Effective Radiated Power and the Mean Effective Receiver Sensitivity of mobile handheld terminals

In this paper we introduce the mean effective radiated power (MERP) and the mean effective radiated sensitivity (MERS) as alternative figures of merit of the uplink and downlink communication performance of wireless handheld terminals. We show how they are related to the mean effective gain (MEG), the total radiated power (TRP) and total receiver sensitivity (TRS).
