h the use of Traffic Interference Cancellation (TIC). Rev. B provides the same quality of service capabilities as Rev. A in the radio access network. Rev. B provides significant trunking gain as compared to Rev. A. For example, a Rev. A network operating with N carriers will have N independent queues, each serving (on average) 1/N'th of the subscribers. Rev. B, operating on the same N carriers, will have a single queue serving these same subscribers. Thus, when we move from N independent queues in Rev. A to a single queue in Rev. B, the customer wait time (or transaction completion time) is reduced by a factor of N. Rev. A : VolP calls - 49 per sector 62 (with TIC) Rev. B (2X) : VolP calls - 98 per sector 124 (with TIC) Rev. B Rev. B (3X) : VolP calls - 147 per sector 188 (with TIC) Rev. B Figure 5.9 VoIP performance. Reproduced from C 2007 Qualcomm [4] 3GPP2 CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Rev. B also improves upon the user experience in the presence of frequency-selective (frequency- dependent) fading. In the bank teller example, fading may be considered analogous to one of the tellers taking a short break. As long as the other tellers can continue to serve customers in a single queue system as in Rev. B, the users will experience much less of a fading slow-down than they would in Rev. A-like system with multiple independent queues. According to computer simulations, Rev. B provides performance gains from frequency diversity in the range of 10-40% [9]. The sector capacity gain of multicarrier over single carrier in the downlink is shown in [10]. It is shown that EGOS (Equal Grade of Service) scheduler achieves higher gains as compared to PF (Proportional Fair) scheduler. The multicarrier EGOS downlink scheduler improves performance of all users since it is capable of matching transmit time slots and frequency channels with channel peaks experienced by each access terminal in the time and frequency domain, respectively. In [10] it was also shown that in the uplink, multicarrier operation improves the uplink transmit efficiency
