heal.abstract	This paper focuses on the 10-66GHz frequency range addressed by the WiMAX related standards, where LOS communication is deemed a practical necessity and rain atenuation is the dominant fading mechanism. It takes into acount both intrasystem and intersystem co-channel interference problems on the downstream channel of BFWA networks and considers cell-site diversity, an efficient rain face countermeasure, for their mitigation. An analytical physical propagation model for the calculation of the carrier-to-interference ratio diversity gain in a BFWA system is presented, which is based on a newly-defined probability, called Acceptable Interference Probability. Numerical results illustrating the effectiveness of cell-site diversity as an interference countermeasure in a BFWA system are also given. © 2006 IEEE.	en
