Abstract
The UMTS W-CDMA radio interface is characterized by great flexibility and a variety of different physical and logical channel types. For example, on the downlink, the DCH offers circuit switching, the FACH uses packet switching and the DSCH uses packet switching with closed loop power control. Furthermore, several user rates and protections are possible, by choosing suitable parameters, such as spreading factors, code rates and ARQ schemes. In this paper we present the results, obtained by a detailed simulation, about the effect of several parameters and system alternatives on the capacity of the downlink segment of the W-CDMA interface with packet service. In particular, we investigate the effect of the spreading factor and the code rate on the DSCH capacity and delay-throughput performance.
