Outage probabilities in CDMA networks with Poisson traffic : a skewness correction and a chernoff bound

In the present paper, we provide a spatial Poisson process model of traffic in a CDMA wireless network, and show how the theory of Poisson processes can be applied to provide statistical information about interference levels in the network. In particular, we obtain analytic approximations and a bound on the outage probability at a designated-cell-site in the network, utilizing high-order cumulants, which have very simple analytical forms, and can easily be computed once the mean measure of the spatial Poisson process is known. Our results build on earlier ones reported in [6], [7], [2].5 page(s
