Summary:
In this paper, we propose an enhanced signal to interference ratio (SIR) measurement algorithm and evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm in a WCDMA forward link receiver with closed-loop fast transmit power control. The proposed algorithm reduces measured SIR offset by using a pilot channel (CPICH) to compensate for the attenuated signal power in fading channel environment. The proposed SIR measurement algorithm outperforms conventional SIR measurement algorithm with regard to mean SIR values and jitter, especially in high speed mobile channel environment. Also, performance results with closed loop power control show that the proposed algorithm has better performance than the conventional algorithm.
