Dowlink Soft Handover Gain in Umts Networks under Different Power Control Conditions
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, the downlink soft handover gain is analysed in UMTS networks under three different power control situations: without power control, with perfect power control and with imperfect power control. The results show that although power control in the downlink direction is not as crucial as it in the uplink direction, it does have a significant influence on the downlink soft handover gain. The downlink soft handover gain will be overestimated without considering the power control and underestimated without considering the imperfection of the power control process.

Analytical characterization of the soft handover gain in UMTS
Abstract Soft handover is one of the key features in UMTS networks. For a sophisticated network planning it is necessary to understand the influence of soft handover on the capacity and coverage of UMTS systems which is expressed by the soft handover gain. In this paper we derive a method for computing interference distributions for UMTS networks with and without soft handover. Thus, we are abl...
متن کاملDiversity Effects on the Soft Handover Gain in UMTS networks
In cellular Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) networks, interference on the uplink is the limiting factor for the number of users that can be served in a single cell. Thus, interference reduction mechanisms are of significant importance. Soft handover, which is primarily a mechanism for seamless handovers (make before break), also reduces the interference within the cells by exploi...
متن کاملInvestigation of soft-handover near street crossings in UMTS live Networks
In this paper we measured the soft-handover (SHO) probability at and near street crossings in UMTS. Literature quotes two main propagation paths in urban macro-cell scenarios: along street-canyons and over the rooftops. Due to the fact that propagation along street canyons is one of the main propagation paths we expected high SHO probability at street crossings. To evaluate this effect we measu...

متن کاملCapacity-based compressed mode control algorithm for inter-system measurements in UMTS system
The Inter-system handover between UMTS and GSM is one of the key features in the third generation UMTS cellular system. The compressed mode, with variable transmission gaps and power levels, is standardized to support the inter-frequency/system handover. In this article, a capacity-based compressed mode algorithm which considers potential impacts on the capacity and the priority of operating th...
