Abstract
We study in this paper both centralized and distributed transmitter power control algorithms for multimedia CDMA networks. In our study, users can have different data rates as well as different quality of service (QoS) requirements characterized by bit energy-to-interference ratios. For centralized power control, we derive an optimum power assignment which can be obtained by solving a set of linear equations. For distributed power control (DPC), we study the fully distributed power control (FDPC) algorithm. We modify the FDPC algorithm so that it can be used in a multi-service environment. We prove that, as long as there are solutions of power levels for all users to meet their QoS requirements, the FDPC algorithm can always find one. A quasi-centralized power control algorithm with partial link gain measurements is proposed to speed up the process in finding a feasible power set. In the algorithm, a base station measures the link gains for all mobiles connected to it. Numerical results show that quasi-centralized power control can find a feasible power set much faster than distributed power control. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
