On the Optimum Traffic Allocation in Heterogeneous CDMA/TDMA Networks

This paper presents the optimum user allocation in heterogeneous scenarios with CDMA and TDMA technologies in order to minimize the total outage probability in the uplink. An analytical model reflecting the different nature of the two access technologies is presented in order to formulate the optimization procedure. It is shown how the optimum allocation depends on the specific parameters of the two technologies, as illustrated with some representative results. The proposed optimization methodology is claimed to have applicability in the field of common radio resource management strategies for beyond 3G networks.
