Ratioed power and rate control for CDMA wireless networks

We propose in this paper the ratioed power and rate control (RPRC) algorithm to satisfy the requirements of both the data rate and the signal quality. During the execution of the RPRC algorithm, only the representative user in each cell adjusts its power level according to certain distributed power control algorithm, and the ratio of the power level for the non-representative user to that for the representative user is kept constant. When the RPRC algorithm is finished, the power levels for all users remain unchanged and the transmission rate is determined by the available rate. We show that the RPRC algorithm can be used for allocating the bandwidth of each cell and achieving the required rate of each user. Furthermore, simulation results reveal that the RPRC algorithm results in larger throughput and finds a feasible power set faster than the other algorithm. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
