Abstract :
This paper discusses the TPC detection performance in soft handover in WCDMA. A simple TPC commands combining method is evaluated and an improved TPC combining method is proposed. Results show that although the simple combining method fulfills the 3GPP requirements, it does not perform well from the system performance perspective. The proposed combining method significantly improves the system performance.
