Impacts of SQ-PIC to capacity and coverage in WCDMA uplink
Jaakko Vihriälä, Kari Horneman · 2005
The capacity and coverage gains from soft quantized parallel interference cancellation (SQ-PIC) in the 3GPP uplink are assessed. We derive analytical expressions for the required E/sub b//N/sub 0/, capacity and coverage with intercell interference. The SQ-PIC receiver is described and its performance is evaluated in an isolated cell. These performance figures are used to evaluate capacity and coverage gains with intercell interference.
