This paper models and analyzes the performance of opportunistic scheduling under constrained frame error rate (FER) requirement for downlink data transmission in cellular CDMA networks using high-order modulation and multicode formats. The effects of multipath-induced interference and imperfect self-interference cancellation on single-transmission are specifically modeled. Based on the proposed framework the performances of the several opportunistic schedulers are evaluated using Monte Carlo simulation considering both bursty and nonbursty downlink data traffic flows.
