Abstract In order to ensure the promise of anytime-anywhere communication to the customers, Mobile operators must be able to support a large number of users over a large coverage area. So Coverage and Capacity are important issues in the planning process for Third Generation (3G) mobile networks. The planning process aims to allow the maximum number of users sending and receiving adequate signal strength in a cell. In Code division multiple access (CDMA), the Coverage and capacity are not independent of each other as in GSM, it is interference-limited system, meaning that if the traffic increases, the serving cell radius decreases, hence the term cell breathing occurs. This work studies the capacity and coverage of a macrocell CDMA network. The cell breathing effect is studied and a new criteria to link Capacity and Coverage is developed, it is named by Capacity-Coverage Product; CCP. Different designations of CCP formula are given. The influencing of various system parameters on this CCP are studied. Knowing this CCP, the capacity and coverage become straight to estimate. The user distribution is very important issue. Most of previous studies treat user distribution as uniform. This thesis considers the case of non uniform user distributions where a more realistic distribution is chosen. A new interference distribution factor is initiated. The impact of this factor on the capacity and coverage is studied. Existing of Hotspot regions of traffic will cause coverage shrinkage. Installation of hotspot microcells BS inside existing macrocell BS is one possible solution to such situations. In this work a microcell is introduced within the macrocell and a new system parameters are obtained such that the coverage and performance are maintained while the capacity is increased.

In this paper, imposing the Hadamard Transform (HDT) on Orthogonal Space-Time Block Codes (OSTBC) schemes using multiple transmit antennas is proposed in order to increase the reliability and improve the error performance of wireless communications. It is referred to as joint Hadamard transform and OSTBC schemes with multiple transmit antennas. However, HDT is used to change the location of constellation points by converting the transmit symbols of OSTBC system, and hence extending the Euclidean distance between transmit symbols for a precise detection. Simulation results demonstrated that increasing the number of transmit antennas in OSTBC systems employing 8-PSK improves the Bit Error Rate (BER) performance as in the case of OSTBC 2×2 scheme where an SNR of about 13.5 dB is required to achieve a BER of 〖10〗^(-6), while only about 7 dB in OSTBC 8×8 scheme is required to obtain the same error probability. It is also demonstrated that imposing the Hadamard criteria on the OSTBC 2×2, 4×4, and 8×8 schemes has showed a performance improvement of about 3 dB, 6 dB and 9 dB, respectively, as compared to the conventional OSTBC systems.

Denoising of chirp based signals is a challenging problem in signal processing and communications. In this paper, we propose a suitable denoising algorithm based on the discrete linear chirp transform (DLCT), which provides local signal decomposition in terms of linear chirps. Analytical expression for the optimal filter response is derived. The method relies on the ability of the DLCT for providing a sparse representation to a wide class of broadband signals like chirp signals. Simulation results show the efficiency of the proposed method, especially for mono-component chirp signals.
