On Deploying Repeaters in CDMA Systems for Traffic Hot-Spots: An Analytical Characterization

This paper describes and models a multi-cellular multiservice CDMA system with repeaters in an environment with traffic and spatial non-uniformities. An analytical model is presented and expressions for the required transmitted power and outage probability are derived for the reverse link. Results are focused on determining the maximum load factor that could be acceptable in order to limit the outage probability
