Advances in Radio Science Downlink beamforming concepts in UTRA FDD

چکیده
This article gives a comparison of beamforming concepts. Adaptive beamforming and fixed beam switching in WCDMA-FDD-mode are compared from a system level perspective, ordinary sectorization (three 120 sectors) serves as a basis for comparison. Pilot channels P-CPICH (Primary Common Pilot Channel) and S-CPICH (Secondary CPICH) are considered as additional interference. For adaptive beamforming channel estimation has to be based on the pilot bit sequence on DPCCH (Dedicated Physical Control Channel) which leads to degradation especially for high mobile velocities and large angular dispersions of the multipath channel.

Smart antennas
Smart antennas have become an essential paradigm for the enhancement of capacity in cellular communications systems. In 2nd Generation Systems smart antennas were aiming at increasing capacity either by reuse within ceN (Space Division Multiple Access SDMA) or by intercell interference reduction (Spatial Filtering for Interference Reduction SFIR). Later in 3rd Generation UMTS UTRA (Universal Te...
متن کاملDownlink power control of dedicated channels in UTRA TDD
This paper discusses downlink power control of dedicated channels in UTRA TDD. The current UTRA TDD downlink power control is similar to the one in UTRA FDD mode, that comprises of closed inner loop and quality based outer loop. However, due to the time division feature and associated flexibility with asymmetry of TDD, the inner loop can not operate as fast as in FDD and it is affected by rapid...
متن کاملDown-link beamforming effects on the code orthogonality in UTRA-FDD systems
A novel approach in quantifying code orthogonality factor for UTRA-FDD systems is extended in this paper to include the impact of down-link beamforming. The effects of fixed beam forming on code orthogonality is analysed through the aid of real channel data taken from urban cellular environments. The results show a significant overall improvement in code orthogonality with beam forming, especia...
متن کاملTransport block error rates for UTRA-FDD downlink with transmission diversity and turbo coding
The transport block error rate (BLER) is an important indicator of the link quality in UTRA. For every kind of service in UTRA a BER or BLER threshold, that still satisfies the desired quality, can be specified. Then, the target Eb/N0 for that service is the mean Eb/N0 necessary to guarantee the specified BER or BLER threshold. The knowledge of the target Eb/N0 for different services and propag...
متن کاملSpace-time front-ends for RAKE receivers in the FDD mode of UTRA
A unified and general vision of different space-time processors is presented. Many popular receivers can be accomodated, like V-RAKE receivers, weighted V-RAKE, or spatial narrowband beamforming. By making appropriate assumptions on the space/time characteristic of the interference it is possible to enhance the performance of the receiver through spatial/temporal pre-processors. These receivers...
