Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Mobile broadband wireless access (MBWA) systems are attractive candidates for next generation mobile data communication systems. This paper discusses results of the MBWA system field trial with Fast Low-latency Access with Seamless Handoff Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (FLASH-OFDM). Field trial results show that the downlink throughput performance is significantly impaired by inter-sector interference. To clarify the reasons of the impairment, we carry out a computer simulation on inter-sector interference reduction capability of frequency hopping orthogonal frequency division multiple access (FH-OFDMA), which is used as a multiple access scheme in FLASH-OFDM. The results summarizes as follows. (1) The interference reduction capability of FH-OFDMA is almost the same as that of direct sequence code division multiple access (DS-CDMA), which can allocate the same frequency band to all sectors. (2) In FH-OFDMA, a long hopping-pattern length yields no site diversity effect to reduce inter-sector interference. Additionally, cumulative distribution of measured signal to noise and interference ratio (SNIR) shows that pilot signals in the neighboring sectors mainly impair the throughput performance. Since a sectored cell layout is mandatory for deployment of the MBWA systems in a high traffic area, inter-sector interference reduction is a key issue for the systems.
