In WCDMA systems the down-link power allocation directly affects the cell deployment capacity, coverage, and system performances. Down-link power should be controlled at minimum but still satisfy the mobile stations' required signal to noise ratio. This paper mathematically proves that the down-link power allocation depends on the number of active mobile stations accessed to the base station. Therefore this paper proposes the dynamic down-link power allocation should be implemented to the WCDMA cellular systems.

In this paper, we investigate the performance of ARQ-aided downlink Time Switched Transmit Diversity (TSTD) in the WCDMA LCR-TDD system. Proposed TSTD system applies the ARQ scheme in which the receiver sends the response signal (ACK or NACK signal) to the transmitter and predicts the channel condition based on response signal after receiver checks the error, then it re-sends data. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed TSTD scheme yields about 5.5dB performance gain, compared with the conventional TSTD in term of the frame error rate(FER) for a mobile speed of 3km/h and an FER value of 1%. In addition, 7% of throughput gain is shown when Eb/N0=7dB.

In this paper, we propose and analyze a scheme for wireless channels, which is a combination of a type I hybrid-automatic repeat request (H-ARQ) scheme and a power ramping. The power ramping is considered for more reliable downlink data transmission, in which the transmission power is gradually changed from a small level to a large level when the number of retransmissions increases. The simulation results demonstrate that, when the power ramping step size is 0.5dB, the average throughput gain may be as high as 2% to 5% with properly selected parameters.

In this paper, we investigate the performance of the ARQ-aided downlink Time Switched Transmit Diversity (TSTD) in the WCDMA LCR-TDD system, when power ramping is applied. The proposed power ramping scheme ramps up the transmission power and then retransmits the data, when the receiver sends the response signal (ACK or NACK signal) to the transmitter and the response signal is NACK signal. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed scheme yields about 0.7dB performance gain in terms of average Eb/N0, compared with the conventional ARQ-aided TSTD when a mobile speed is 3km/h and an frame error rate (FER) is 1%, respectively. In addition, 2.5% of throughput gain is shown when average Eb/N0 is equal to 0dB.

In this paper, we investigate the performance of ARQ-aided Time Switched Transmit Diversity (ARQ-TSTD) applying the multi-level control signaling in the WCDMA LCR-TDD system. Proposed ARQ-TSTD system applies the multi-level control signaling scheme in which the receiver sends the response signal (ACK or NACK signal) to the transmitter and defines NACK2 signal for multi-level control. Transmitter utilize the NACK2 control signal to the postponement of transmission and multi-user scheduling scheme proposed by this paper. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed postponement of transmission and multi-user scheduling scheme yield about 1.3dB, 1.4dB performance gain respectively, compared with the conventional ARQ-TSTD with antenna switching scheme in tenn of the frame error rate (FER) for mobile speed of 3km/h and FER value of 10%. In addition, 14% and 11.5% of throughput gain respectively is shown when Eb/N0=-3dB.

In this paper, we evaluate the performance of a moving average (MA) channel estimation filter when space-time block coding transmit diversity (STBC-TD) is applied to the wideband direct sequence code division multiple access (WCDMA) forward link. And we present the infinite impulse response (IIR) filter scheme that can reduce the required memory buffer and the channel estimation delay time. This paper also compares the performance between MA filter scheme and IIR filter scheme in various Rayleigh fading channel environments through the bit error rate (BER) and the frame error rate (FER). Extensive computer simulation results show that transmission with STBC-TD provides a significant gain in performance over no transmit diversity technique, particularly at pedestrian speeds. If STBC-TD technique is employed in the channel estimator based on MA filter, it provides considerable performance gains against Rayleigh fading and reduces the optimum filter tap number. Consequently, the channel estimation delay time and the complexity of the receiver are reduced. In addition, the channel estimator based on IIR filter has the advantages such as little memory requirement and no delay time compared to the MA scheme. However, IIR filter coefficients is very sensitive to the mobile speed change and it exerts a serious influence upon the performance. For that reason, it is important to set uP the optimum IIR filter coefficients.

In this paper, we analyze the adjacent interference between WCDMA and M-WiMAX systems in the 2.6GHz Band under the SISO (Single Input Single Output) configuration. The interference scenarios are characterized into 8 scenarios with different victim and interfering links. Among the 8 scenarios, we find that the most performance loss is observed in the scenarios of victim uplink suffering interference from downlink in both systems. Besides, guard band is applied to mitigate the adjacent interference in all the scenarios. Especially, we reveal that M-WiMAX system is much more sensitive to adjacent interference than WCDMA system due to the lower transmission power. In this paper, we consider the worst interference environment, where interferers always transmit with the maximum power, a loose spectrum mask is adapted, and no additional channel fitters are equipped in both systems.

In this Paper, we propose a downlink service admission strategy that considers users QoS requirements by using a novel service quality prediction index for multi-service WCDMA mobile systems. The Proposed downlink service admission strategy is obtained by computing average received Power of each service, assuming a relative other-cell interference factor. With the proposed method we obtain a downlink service admission region where users of different services properly can be admitted. And adding the fairness at the proposed downiinh service admission strategy, we Propose another downlink service admission strategy. In the numerical examples, the downlink service admission region with fairness and the downlink service admission region without fairness of voice service and data services are obtained by proposed downlink service admission strategies, respectively.

WCDMA system is 3rd generation wireless mobile system specified by 3GPP. In WCDMA downlink, two power control schemes are operated. One is inner loop power control operated in every slot. Another is outer loop power control based on one frame time. Base station (BS) can estimate proper transmission power by these two power control schemes. However, because each MS's transmission power makes a severe effect on BS's performance, BS cannot give excessive transmission power to the specific user. 3GPP defined Power Control Dynamic Range (PCDR) to guarantee proper BS's performance. In this paper, we propose Adaptive PCDR algorithm. By APCDR algorithm, Radio Network Controller (RNC) can estimate each MS's current state using received signal to interference ratio (SIR). APCDR algorithm changes MS's maximum code channel power based on frame. By proposed scheme, each MS can reduce wireless channel effect and endure outages in cell edge. Therefore, each MS can obtain better QoS. Simulation result indicate that APCDR algorithm show more attractive output than fixed PCDR algorithm.
