A Dynamic System-Level Simulation Tool for UMTS FDD
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a tool for dynamic simulation of radio resources in UMTS FDD. The developed tool provides an integrated environment for users scenario definition, environment edition, base stations planning, simulation and analysis. This tool can also be used to evaluate the impact of new services, different system settings or new subscriber profiles, in the system’s global performance. For implementing the different mechanisms of WCDMA radio technology, the simulation tool kernel was supported by a systemlevel, dynamic, stochastic and event driven simulation model. Both uplink and downlink directions are considered, including soft handover connections. The final results confirm the developed tool validity and its good functionality in relation to simulation scenario definition, simulation and analysis phases.

The Network Performance of Multi-rate Fdd-mode Umts
The performance of a multi-rate mobile cellular network using the Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) mode of the Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) based Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS) is investigated. The new call blocking and call dropping probabilities and the tolerable network load are studied in the context of a multi-rate FDD-mode UMTS network incorporating dynamic thresh...
متن کاملPerformance of a Simple Downlink Beam Switching Scheme for Umts Fdd
We present a simple beam switching scheme to increase the downlink capacity of the UMTS FDD-mode. At the base station this method only needs an additional transceiver chain, i.e. a separate one for each beam, a beamforming network and a uniform linear array. The mobiles need no changes at all. We analyze the performance of our method by means of system level simulations. We found an increase in...

متن کاملAn evaluation of adaptive antennas for a UMTS FDD network deployed in a suburban area of Norway
A system simulator for performance evaluation of adaptive antennas in UMTS FDD networks has been developed. The simulator is flexible, it uses realistic channel and system assumptions, and for a given scenario provides the maximum network capacity. The antenna types included in the simulator are switched lobe, phased array and adaptive array as well as conventional fixed sector antenna. Analyse...
