This paper documents the results of a system level investigation considering different antenna concepts when applying power control in UTRA FDD (UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access, Frequency Division Duplex) downlink. Simulations have been carried out for different data services utilizing dedicated channels. The investigations were accomplished within the framework of 3GPP-UMTS boundary conditions.
