Abstract With the operation of multiple radio links simultaneously in a so-called soft handover situation, the link quality can significantly be improved. On the other hand, additional radio resources are necessary and distributed transmitters cause severe changes in a network's interference situation. This paper focuses on the effects of soft handover applied to a realistically planned UMTS network. As a result, the trade-off between interference mitigation and capacity loss is evaluated by means of dynamic simulation.
