Soft handoff analysis and its effects on downlink capacity of 3G CDMA cellular networks
Shalini Aggarwal, Shiv Kumar Tomar, Alok Aggarwal · 2012
In this paper soft handoff effects in the downlink direction of WCDMA cellular networks under different power control conditions are analyzed. Power allocation in downlink direction of WCDMA cellular networks is analyzed on two fronts, one when soft handoff is not considered and one with soft handoff. Further, effects of shadowing components are examined during soft handoff.
