Channel Coding Strategies for Cellular Radio
01 November 1995
To improve re-use of time/frequency slots in a cellular radio system, it is desirable for the average interference levels seen by all users to be made approximately equal. We provide constructions based on orthogonal latin squares that guarantee sets of users will interfere in successive slots. We illustrate how this may be combined with convolutional coding to provide large performance improvement with low decoding delay in a slow hopped system.
