This paper presents frame error rate (FER) properties of downlink in
CDMA2000 system with the movement of the mobile terminal in high-rise urban
environment. The site-specific channel model based on ray-tracing technique is
chosen for this analysis with the established cells and sectors for the current IS-95
service. The tendency of FER according to the position of the mobile terminal is
analyzed. From this analysis, we can infer the possibility of using the established
IS-95 cell plannings for the CDMA2000 service
