Performance of fast forward link power control for CDMA systems
Aliakbar Jalali, M.T. Feeney, A. Chheda · 2002
Fast power control is being considered on the forward link for the third generation CDMA systems. This paper simulates fast power control on the forward link for a 9600 bps data rate and discusses potential capacity gains. Performance of the fast power control scheme for 800 and 1600 Hz power control update rates are given to determine the potential capacity improvements as the update rate is increased. The paper also discusses some of the issues that need to be considered in designing fast power control for the forward link.
