Combined Effect of Coherent Adaptive Antenna Array Diversity and SINR-Based Fast Transmit Power Control in W-CDMA Reverse Link

摘要

This paper evaluates through laboratory and field experiments the combined effect of the coherent adap- tive antenna array diversity (CAAAD) receiver and signal-to- interference plus background noise ratio (SINR)-based fast trans- mit power control (TPC) in order to improve performance be- yond that of space diversity (SD) with maximal ratio combining (MRC) in all low-to-high signal-to-interference power ratio (SIR) channels in the W-CDMA reverse link.
