Key Points

This research examines how handoff techniques influence cell coverage and reverse link capacity in CDMA systems.
Investigated handoff techniques in a spread spectrum CDMA system.
Compared the effects of soft handoff versus hard handoff on cell coverage and capacity.
Soft handoff significantly increases cell coverage compared to hard handoff.
Reverse link capacity is also enhanced with soft handoff relative to conventional methods.

Implication

Investigates effects of soft handoff on cell coverage and capacity in CDMA systems, suggesting improved performance.

Abstract

The effect of handoff techniques on cell coverage and reverse link capacity is investigated for a spread spectrum CDMA system. It is shown that soft handoff increases both parameters significantly relative to conventional hard handoff.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
