Abstract
In this paper, we propose a smart step closed-loop power control (SSPC) algorithm and a base station assignment method based on minimizing the transmitter power (BSA-MTP) technique in a direct sequence-code division multiple access (DS-CDMA) receiver with frequency-selective Rayleigh fading. This receiver consists of three stages. In the first stage, with constrained least mean squared (CLMS) algorithm, the desired users’ signal in an arbitrary path is passed and the inter-path interference (IPI) is reduced in other paths in each RAKE finger. Also in this stage, the multiple access interference (MAI) from other users is reduced. Thus, the matched filter (MF) can use for more reduction of the IPI and MAI in each RAKE finger in the second stage. Also in the third stage, the output signals from the matched filters are combined according to the conventional maximal ratio combining (MRC) principle and then are fed into the decision circuit of the desired user. The simulation results indicate that the SSPC algorithm and the BSA-MTP technique can significantly reduce the network bit error rate (BER) compared to the other methods. Also, we observe that significant savings in total transmit power (TTP) are possible with our methods.

Summary
Code-Division Multiple Access (CDMA) for cellular communication networks requires the implementation of some forms of adaptive power control. In uplink of CDMA systems, the maximum number of supportable users per cell is limited by multipath fading, shadowing, and near-far effects that cause fluctuations of the received power at the base station (BS). Adaptive receiver beamforming schemes have been widely used to reduce both co-channel interference (CCI) and ISI and to decrease the bit error rate (BER) by adjusting the beam pattern such that the effective SINR at the output of the beamformer is optimally increased [11]. In simple mode and in multiple-cell systems, the user is connected to the nearest base station This way is not optimal in cellular systems under the shadowing and multipath fading channels and can increase the system BER. We present the base station assignment method based on minimizing the transmitter power (BSA-MTP) for decreasing the BER in all cells.
