heal.abstract	Capacity has become of primary importance in broadband wireless access (BWA) networks due to the ever-increasing demand for multimedia services and the possibility of providing wireless Internet, leading to their standardization by IEEE (802.16 WirelessMAN) and ETSI (BRAN HIPERACCESS). The major factor limiting capacity in such systems is interference originating from adjacent cells, namely intercell interference. This paper presents a general analysis of intercell interference for a spectrally efficient BWA cellular configuration. It examines the statistical properties of the carrier-to-interference ratio in both downstream and upstream channels. The focus is on the spatial inhomogeneity of rain attenuation over multiple paths, which is the dominant fading mechanism in the frequency range above 20 GHz, especially when two-layered [i.e., line-of-sight (LOS) and non-LOS] architectures are involved. Besides attenuation from precipitation, various architectural and propagation aspects of local multipoint distribution service systems are investigated through simulations, and worst-case interference scenarios are identified. © 2007 IEEE.	en
