Abstract
This paper investigates the performance of ARQ-aided downlink Time Switched Transmit Diversity (TSTD) in the WCDMA Low Chip Rate (LCR)-Time Division Duplex (TDD) system, when antenna switching and power ramping are applied. With the help of the ARQ signal, where the receiver sends the acknowledgement (ACK or NACK) to the transmitter, the proposed TSTD scheme switches the transmit antenna and ramps up the transmission power for the retransmitted data, when the transmitter receives a NACK signal. Simulation results demonstrate, that when the mobile speed is 3km/h and a frame error rate (FER) is set to 1%, the antenna switching scheme yields 2dB to 3dB performance gain in terms of average Eb/N0, and the power ramping gives 0.7dB to 1.6dB gain, compared with the conventional ARQ-aided TSTD. In addition, 6% of throughput gain is shown by amalgamating the antennas switching as well as the power ramping, when the average Eb/N0 is equal to 0dB.
