Soft handoff1 $ser eG$i"ment -+20 and base stations $se s"ecial rake receivers that allo% each +2 to sim$ltaneo$sl& comm$nicate %ith m$lti"le base stations: The diversit& gain associated %ith soft handoff is kno%n as the Hsoft handoff gain factorH: Multipath reception1 the rake receivers also allo% the +2 to decode m$lti"le signals that have traveled over different "h&sical "aths from the base station: .or exam"le, one signal ma& travel directl& from the base station to the +2, and another ma& reflect off a large b$ilding and then travel to the +2: This "henomenon, Hm$lti"ath "ro"agationH, also "rovides a diversit& gain: The same effect occ$rs on the $"link from the +2 to the base station: Power control1 transmissions b& the +2 m$st be caref$ll& controlled so that all transmissions are received %ith ro$ghl& the same "o%er at the base station: (f "o%er control is not $sed, a Enear7farF "roblem, %here mobiles close to the base station over7 "o%er signals from mobiles farther a%a&, occ$rs: The base station $ses a fast "o%er control s&stem to direct the mobile to "o%er $" or "o%er do%n as its received signal

level varies d$e to changes in the "ro"agation environment: Iike%ise, on the do%nlink, transmissions from the base stations are "o%er7controlled to minimi e the overall interference thro$gho$t the s&stem and to ens$re a good received signal b& the +2:

Frequency reuse of 11 ever& base station in the #/M' s&stem o"erates on the same freG$enc& for a given carrier, so no freG$enc& "lanning is reG$ired: 's ever& site ca$ses interference to ever& other site, caref$l attention m$st be "aid to each siteJs radio "ro"agation: Soft capacity: ca"acit& and coverage are intert%ined in #/M', de"ending on the n$mber of $sers in the s&stem and the amo$nt of interference allo%ed before access is blocked for ne% $sers: B& setting the allo%ed interference threshold lo%er, coverage %ill im"rove at the ex"ense of ca"acit&: B& setting the threshold higher, ca"acit& %ill increase at the ex"ense of coverage: Beca$se of the f$ndamental link bet%een coverage and ca"acit&, cells %ith light traffic loads inherentl& share some of their latent ca"acit& %ith more highl& loaded s$rro$nding cells:

WCDMA vs. GSM

W#/M' has some similarities %ith GSM technolog&, ho%ever, it is a f$ndamentall& different techniG$e for allo%ing m$lti"le $sers to share the same s"ectr$m and as a res$lt it has man& differences:
