Abstract

This paper deals with the intertwined problems of feasibility, power allocation and call admission control on the basis of the signal-to-interference-ratio in multi-cell CDMA networks. Positively homogeneous in-cell interference functions are introduced. Under this general concept optimum power allocations are determined by first solving in-cell interference problems with fixed background noise, and subsequently a small system of linear coupling equations. This approach simultaneously clarifies the existence of some power allocation such that minimum SIR requirements are fulfilled. The decomposition is also utilized for designing a decentralized admission control algorithm. Finally, guidelines are given on how required parameters may be estimated in existing network structures.
