Abstract
In this paper, we study the statistical characterization of the error process arising when data blocks are transmitted over a Wideband CDMA air interface, as currently being standardized for third generation wireless systems. The study includes propagation effects and multi-cellular operation, as well as several features of the proposed schemes, e.g., closed-loop power control. The simulation tools developed are briefly described, and some results are presented. Special focus is given to the relationship between the observed error behavior and some simple error models to be used in analytical studies.
