In this study, the coverage of downlinkcellularorthogonalfrequency-divisionmultiple-accessnetworks transmitting one quadrature-amplitude modulation symbol per hop is analysed. The coverage probability is first defined by using an upper bound on the bit error rate (BER) of a bit-interleaved coded modulation system. Moreover then, the moment generating functions of the legacy Gaussian and Laplacian metrics (LMs) for soft-decision decoding of an employed error-correcting code are derived for computing the upper bound on the BER and the corresponding coverage probability of the networks. Numerical results demonstrate that due to the impulsive nature of the inter-cell interference for moderate-to-small cell loads, the networks using the LM for soft-decision decoding significantly outperform those employing the legacy Gaussian metric in terms of the achievable cell radius and the amount of the average transmit power reduction.
