A three‐dimensional implementation of the finite‐difference time‐domain method is used to estimate the down‐link outage probability of a direct‐sequence code division multiple access system operating in a multi‐storey office building in the presence of co‐channel interference. The numerical analysis is supported by experimental measurements and good agreement is found for the outage probability. Both simulation and measured results indicate that vertically aligned co‐channel base stations have lower outage than a vertically staggered configuration, which is explained by examining the correlation between the desired and interfering signals.
