It is well known that power control is critical in CDMA mobile systems and the power control error (PCE) exists in spite of power control methods being used. In this paper, the closed-form expressions of signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) and the average bit error rate (BER) are derived for a two-dimensional (2-D)-RAKE receiver with imperfect power control in a frequency-selective Nakagami fading channel.. The combined impact of PCE, multipath Nakagami fading, spatial and temporal diversity order, and multiple-access interference on the system performance has been analyzed for all kinds of fading environments. The simulation results indicate that the BER performance degrade due to PCE. But increasing spatial and temporal diversity order can possibly compensate for the performance loss when PCE is not very serious. The exact performance improvement due to space-time processing varies with the PCE and the fading environment.
