Distributions of Co-Channel Interference in Forward and Reverse Links

Resource Overview

This MATLAB program simulates and visualizes the distributions of co-channel interference in both forward and reverse links within a cellular mobile system featuring cluster size N. The simulation models random mobile subscriber (MS) positions across a cell to analyze interference patterns and their impact on system performance. The implementation includes statistical analysis of signal-to-interference ratios and uses Monte Carlo methods for position randomization.

Detailed Documentation

This program demonstrates the distributions of co-channel interference in forward and reverse links in cellular mobile systems when the mobile subscriber (MS) is randomly positioned within a cell, with a specified cluster size N. The code simulates multiple random MS locations using uniform distribution sampling and calculates interference levels from neighboring co-channel cells. Key algorithmic components include distance-based path loss modeling, interference summation from relevant base stations, and statistical distribution plotting. Through systematic Monte Carlo simulations, the program provides insights into how interference varies with user position and quantifies its effects on communication quality metrics like bit error rate and capacity degradation.
