Fuzzy Power Command Enhancement in Mobile Communications Systems

In this paper, we propose a fuzzy logic-based power command enhancement scheme for the mobile station in the cellular communications systems. By defining necessary linguistic terms of the power commands and corresponding fuzzy inference rules, an Embedded Fuzzy Unit (EFU) is constructed. The role of our EFU is to produce appropriate digital power commands instead of the one-bit discrete commands directly obtained from the base station. Simulations show that the EFU-based mobile station can generate considerably smoother received power at the base station. The transient overshoot and steady channel tracking error are small. Moreover, our method has the advantage of simplicity in both structure and algorithm, and is thus easy for hardware implementation.
