Abstract
In this paper, we derive an outage probability for the Erlang capacity and the link margin respectively, calculate them with the same parameters and outage probability, and then analyze a capacity and cell coverage in city, suburban, and open area. So, the Erlang capacity is more real than in a cell, and the cell coverage can be calculated with high reliability by the margin. When the $E_b/N_o$ decreases from 7 dB to 5 dB within the outage probability of 5 %, it is observed that the capacity is increased from 18 Erlang to 31 Erlang with the same margin of 2.8 dB, then the coverage is increased to 0.4 km, 1 km, and 2.5 km in city, suburban, and open area respectively. Also if the outage probability is decreased from 5 % to 2 % in case of $E_b/N_o$ of 5 dB, the result shows a very reliable link with additional increment of 0.88 dB in the margin and a high QoS (quality of service) within decrement of 0.15 km, 0.5 km, and 1.5 km for the same areas with decrement of 3 Erlang from 31 Erlang.
