VTC 1998, 48th IEEE annual international vehicular technology conference, May 18-21, 1998 Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
Power control possiblities are explored for the downlink of a Time-Division Duplex (TDD) CDMA system while employing three different kinds of multipath diversity combining schemes namely the RAKE, the pre-RAKE [2] and the transmit antenna pre-selection. In the latter two, knowledge of the channel characterstics is employed at the base-station to provide maximum decoupling between users on the downlink. Performance of the these receivers is compared in a Rayleigh fading urban environment. It is shown that power control is absolutely indispensible in the latter two schemes and results in considerable performance gains as compared to the RAKE receiver.
