Interference distributions in mixed service WCDMA systems-opportunities for advanced antenna systems

We present spatial downlink power distributions in a WCDMA-FDD system. Several scenarios of user distributions have been studied in mixed service environments where the results have been obtained by system level simulations. The investigated scenarios include concentrated (hot-spot) and distributed high data rate user scenarios. The simulated traffic types cover speech, streaming and Web services of different data rates. The aim of this contribution is to highlight the opportunities of advanced antenna systems in mixed service environments of WCDMA networks.
