Coverage and capacity analysis in cdma2000 network for voice and packet data services

cdma2000 is 3/sup rd/ generation (3G) communication standard based on the 2/sup nd/ generation standard, IS-95. In the 3G service, there are two kinds of traffic-voice traffic and various rate packet based data traffic. Because this feature is different from a voice only service, more elaborate analysis on coverage and capacity are needed. QoS (quality of service) related system capacity and coverage results are provided by simulation with digital GIS data, a radiowave propagation prediction model, a link level analysis algorithm etc. Because there is coverage and capacity unbalance which results from various processing gain and E/sub b//N/sub t/ requirements in the forward link, their relations are also provided.
