Abstract

This paper analyzes the potential benefits of using enhanced Interference Based Site Selection Diversity Technique to control base station power during soft handover for UTRA WCDMA downlink. This scheme is compared with Balanced Downlink Power Control used during macrodiversity and Pilot Power Based Site Selection Diversity Technique. In Interference Based SSDT scheme the mobile selects the primary base station that has least interference to decrease base station power during congestion. The objective is to find out whether there is any real improvement in cellular coverage and performance using these schemes. Total base station transmission power, individual traffic channels power for each mobile station, Grade of Service and Quality of Service are used for performance evaluation.
