A distributed power control algorithm for bursty transmissions on cellular, spread spectrum wireless networks

We propose a distributed algorithm for power control in cellular, wideband networks for bursty traffic sources, such as data and speech with silence detection. The algorithm adapts power at mobiles on the basis of only local measurements of the mean and variance of the interference. The first part of the paper introduces a probabilistic quality of service specification and gives an asymptotic framework for estimating orders of magnitudes of the quantities which affect it. The second part gives the algorithm and the condition for its convergence at a geometric rate. The condition is not burdensome.
