ABSTRACT
An overwhelming number of models in the literature use average
interference for calculation of capacity of a CDMA network.
In this paper, we calculate the actual per-user interference and
analyze the effect of user-distribution on the capacity of a
CDMA network. We show that even though the capacity ob-
tained using average interference is a good approximation to the
capacity calculated using actual interference for a uniform user
distribution, the deviation can be tremendously large for non-
uniform user distributions. We also present an analytical model
for approximating the user distributions using 2-dimensional
Gaussian distributions by determining the means and the stan-
dard deviations of the distributions for every cell. This allows
us to calculate the inter-cell interference and the reverse-link
