On the capacity of CDMA with linear successive interference cancellation
Meng Cai · 2003
Combined power control and interference cancellation in CDMA systems can be a very efficient resource management tool. While conventional power control tries to maintain equal received power or balanced SIR, Successive Interference Cancellation (SIC) in Multi-User Detection (MUD) relies more on the disparities between the powers of the different users. The combination can save more power into the system and thus a room for better capacity.
