Abstract
In a mobile communication system, we analyze the performance of uplink transmit power control mechanisms for various environments when a mobile station is during soft handoff. The quality of data frames at the receiver side can be better at a base station controller (BSC) than at its base stations (BSs) if the BSC combines selectively the data frames transmitted from the BSs. And, in order to achieve the target frame error rate (FER), the outer loop power control should be done at the BSC instead of at the BSs. It can save the energy consumption of a mobile station during the soft handoff.
