Variance minimization stochastic power control in CDMA systems
Lijun Qian, Zoran Gajić · IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications · 2006
In this paper, the uplink power control problem is considered for CDMA cellular systems, where stochastic SIR measurements are performed at base stations. A distributed stochastic power control algorithm is proposed assuming SIR measurements contain white noise. The proposed scheme minimize the sum of variances of mobile's transmission power and signal-to-interference error. The algorithm derived is fully distributed in the sense that each user only needs to know its own signal-to-interference measurement and channel variation. Uncertainties of wireless channels are accommodated by using a robust estimator. Simulation results indicate that the proposed power control scheme has very fast convergence. In addition, it also works fine with 4-bit quantization.
