On the impact of the soft handoff threshold and the maximum size of the active group on resource allocation and outage probability in the UMTS system.

On the impact of the soft handoff threshold and the maximum size of the active group on resource allocation and outage probability in the UMTS system.

We study the effect of two control parameters of the universal mobile telecommunication system handoff algorithm on resource allocation and the outage probability of the forward link. We thereby provide information on the effect of the parameters on the probability distributions of the number of bas...
