Adaptive channel equalization in WCDMA downlink in soft handover
نویسندگان
چکیده
Receivers based on channel equalization have proven to be one of the most promising candidates for terminal receivers in wideband code-division multiple-access (WCDMA) downlink. The channel equalizers provide multiple access interference (MAI) suppression, and thus ensure adequate receiver performance even with a high number of active users. However, the suitability of the equalizers to soft handover has been unclear. In this paper, adaptive equalizer structures for soft handover are introduced, and their performance is numerically evaluated. The results show a significant performance gain over the conventional Rake receiver. Keywords—WCDMA downlink, multiple access interference, equalization, soft handover

Adaptive space-time chip-level equalization for WCDMA downlink with code-multiplexed pilot and soft handover
In the downlink of WCDMA systems, multi-path propagation destroys the orthogonality of the user signals and causes multi-user interference (MUI). Chip-level equalization can restore the orthogonality and suppress the MUI. However, adaptive implementations of the chip-level equalizer receiver that can track time-varying multi-path channels are hard to realize in practice for two reasons : loss o...
متن کاملEqualization in WCDMA Terminals
Conventional versions of linear multiuser detectors (MUD) are not feasible in the wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA) downlink due to the use of long scrambling sequences. As an alternative, linear channel equalizers restore the orthogonality of the spreading sequences lost in frequency-selective channels, thus, suppressing multiple access interference (MAI) in the WCDMA downlink. In...
متن کاملOptimized downlink transmit power control during soft handover in WCDMA systems
This paper proposes a new power control strategy during soft handover in WCDMA systems. According to the link qualities of the downlink channels involved in soft handover, the transmit powers of the base stations in the active set are dynamically allocated. This new optimized power control scheme reduces the additional interference caused by the multiple site transmission during soft handover. ...
متن کاملDownlink radio resource optimization in wide-band CDMA systems
Soft handover is analysed and optimized in the downlink direction of a WCDMA system in this paper. Downlink is chosen because the asymmetric nature of most new services supported by the next generation of mobile networks requires more capacity in that direction, and so this is likely to be the limiting factor. The study also sets out to resolve the often controversial opinions about the system ...
متن کاملSpace-Time Chip Equalization for WCDMA Forward Link with Code-Multiplexed Pilot and Soft Handover
In the forward link of WCDMA systems, multipath propagation destroys the orthogonality of the user signals and causes multi-user interference (MUI). Channel equalization can restore the orthogonality and suppress the MUI. However, adaptive implementations of the chip equalizer receiver that can track fast fading multipath channels are hard to realize in practice. On one hand, sending a training...
