Abstract

The benefit of generalized RAKE reception to downlink system capacity is studied. System capacity is evaluated for certain cell and user outage probabilities. Fast fading, noise correlation, power control, and soft handoff are all included in our study. The site selection diversity transmission (SSDT) approach to power allocation between soft handoff links is shown to be optimal in the sense that it minimizes total transmit power to a given user. Numerical results show that G-RAKE receivers can improve system capacity by as much as 30-45% in a highly dispersive channel
