Abstract
The use of directional antennas at the subscriber unit in CDMA wireless local loop systems is studied. Directional antennas can reduce multiuser interference at the CDMA base station and lower subscriber transmit power. The effect of these gains on performance gains in cell capacity and cell coverage are presented. Our analysis focuses on the reverse mobile to base link only.
