Summary: 
We previously proposed a next generation cellular system for IMT-2000 based on the Wideband DS-CDMA with TDD scheme (W-CDMA/TDD) and have evaluated its performance by computer simulation, laboratory and field experiment. With the W-CDMA/TDD, because of its correlation between the downlink and the uplink, transmission and reception space diversity (SD) at a base station and open-loop transmit power control (TPC) can be simply realized. This paper reports performance of laboratory and field experiments using a developed testbed. The results shows it has been confirmed that transmission and reception SD and open-loop TPC have sufficient performance under a field environment as well as laboratory environment.
