Abstract
In the downlink of direct-sequence code-division multiple-access (DS-CDMA) cellular systems, system capacity is limited by multiuser interference. This interference can be suppressed at the receiver by interference whitening approaches such as chip equalization and generalized RAKE (G-RAKE) reception. In this paper, we show how these advanced receivers can increase system capacity. First, the G-RAKE receiver formulation is extended to include soft handoff and other-cell interference. Then, voice capacity is evaluated, including the effects of fast fading, interference correlation, power control, orthogonality properties of own-cell signals, and soft handoff. Numerical results for the wideband CDMA system show that when the channel is dispersive, advanced receivers improve capacity by 30-34%
