Some works have been done about discovering the received signal-power distribution which makes MAI be suppressed effectively. This distribution minimizes the averaged Bit Error Rate(BER). However, in packet communication systems, it is dominant to the performance if packets can be transmitted successfully or not. Even if the averaged BER is high, many packets can be correctly transmitted[7]. It implies that the optimum distribution on averaged BER does not give the best performance of packet transmission. In this paper, the received signal-power distribution which gives the best performance of packet transmission is derived. Such a distribution will make clear the limit of performance improvement using SIC.}, pages = {37--41}, title = {The Optimum Received Signal-Power Distribution for CDMA Packet Communication Systems Employing Successive Interference Cancellation}, year = {2004} }
