Abstract:
|
Soft Handoff has been shown to perform
better than hard handoff in aspects like reverse link
capacity and cell coverage. However, some reported
comparisons include distance criteria leading to rather
pessimistic performance for hard handover. This paper
presents a model based exclusively on power criteria that
allows a gradual and continuos transition between soft
and hard handoff operation. Furthermore, in order to
contrast macrodiversity benefits, some repercussions and
limitations macrodiversity imposes on system design are
addressed. Supporting of MRC and EGC combining
techniques on the reverse link is also taken into account. |
