Adaptive schemes for packet data in a DS-CDMA environment
O. Sallent, Ramon Agusti · 2002
This paper presents a novel adaptive DS-CDMA slotted-ALOHA packet random access scheme for improving the throughput of the conventional DS-CDMA slotted-ALOHA system. For this purpose a mobile-assisted algorithm is envisaged to control the change of the transmission rate according to the traffic load. This algorithm revealed that the optimum behavior may be almost reached at a low complexity cost. Moreover, the proposed algorithm was found to be robust to intercell interference.
