Abstract

We propose and study the constrained power control scheme for direct sequence code division multiple access (DS-CDMA) systems supporting voice and data services. In the proposed scheme, the voice users are subject to the conventional power control, while the data users are subject to distance dependent transmit power constraint. Several power control profiles for data users are suggested to reduce interference within its own and neighboring cells. For given delay and outage probability requirements, we present an analytical framework to analyze the number of users that can be supported by the proposed scheme. The results are compared to the conventional power control scheme, where no such constraint is imposed. We derive new closed form expression for the interference correction factor for the constrained power control scheme. In addition, we show that the total interference power can be approximated by the log-normal distribution, and we evaluate the mean and variance of the log-normal distribution analytically. We also derive the distribution of the signal-to-noise ratios for voice and data users, which is useful in evaluating the user capacity for slotted DS-CDMA cellular systems with both delay and power constraints.
