Abstract
The performance of the forward link for an IS-95 based CDMA system in case of slowly moving mobiles in a flat Rayleigh fading channel is evaluated. It is shown that soft handoff improves the system capacity at the expense of an increase in the hardware requirements at the cell site. The analysis shows the interaction between the design parameters and their effect on system performance. Outage, blocking and coverage probabilities are defined and used to characterize system performance.
