Centralised power control in CDMA cellular mobile systems
Efficient power control is of great importance in the design of high capacity cellular radio systems. Optimum power control scheme, in the sense that it minimises the outage probability, has been fully investigated for FDMA/TDMA cellular systems. The authors propose optimum power control and several centralised power control algorithms for CDMA cellular systems. Simulation results indicate that the optimum power control scheme outperforms the perfect average power control algorithm by ~1.9 dB under the IS-95 defined radio condition.
