Intercell interference studies in broadband wireless access networks

Capacity has become of primary importance in broadband wireless access (BWA) networks due to the ever-increasing demand for multimedia services and the possibility of providing wireless Internet, leading to their standardization by IEEE (802.16WirelessMAN) and ETSI (BRAN HIPERACCESS). The major fact...
