The Impact of Soft-handoff on the Downlink Capacity of Mobile Cdma Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
The use of soft-handoff may have a substantial impact on the downlink of cellular CDMA systems, by reducing its capacity. This depends heavily on the parameters used in the handoff procedure. In this paper we estimate this impact with several sets of parameter values. We first derive an analytical solution for a general CDMA system. Then the IS-95 handoff procedure is simulated in order to estimate the effective traffic carried by the system.

Comparison of Downlink Power Allocation Mechanisms in Soft Handoff for the WCDMA System with Heterogeneous Cell Structures
Handoff in heterogeneous cellular networks is one of the hot topics for wireless networks beyond the third generation. We observe that a power exhausting issue may occur in a code division multiple access (CDMA) system with mixed-sized cells. During soft handoff in the downlink transmission, a number of base stations transmit signals to a user simultaneously. Usually, a microcell has a more str...
متن کاملDownlink Packet Transmission Control in Soft Handoff Status on CDMA Wireless IP Networks
A soft handoff scheme is very helpful to minimize the service disruption in CDMA wireless IP networks. In the conventional soft handoff scheme, the downlink throughput performance decreases due to fading fluctuations, this is because the base station transmits packets to mobile stations even in bad channel conditions. This paper presents a new transmission control scheme for the downlink IP pac...

In CDMA mobile cellular systems, wireless quality is improved by soft handoff techniques. However, it requires to hold multiple channels of cells, which is likely to increase call blocking at wired channels. It is therefore necessary to consider the entire system including the wired and wireless portions of systems for investigating an effectiveness of the soft handoff. The effect of interferen...
متن کاملAdaptive channel reservation scheme for soft handoff in DS-CDMA cellular systems
Soft handoff techniques in direct-sequence code-division multiple-access (DS-CDMA) systems provide mobile calls with seamless connections between adjacent cells. Channel reservation schemes are used to give high priority to more important soft handoff attempts over new call attempts. However, since the number of soft handoff attempts varies according to environmental conditions, fixed reservati...
متن کاملCharacterization of Soft Handoff in CDMA Systems
Many analytical approaches have been proposed for handoff analysis based on hard handoff in mobile communication systems. In code-division multiple-access (CDMA) systems with soft handoff, mobile stations (MS’s) within a soft-handoff region (SR) use multiple radio channels and receive their signals from multiple base stations (BS’s) simultaneously. Therefore, SR’s should be considered for hando...
