The third generation mobile communication systems are widely envisioned to be based on wideband code division multiple access (CDMA) technologies to support high data rate (HDR) packet data services. To effectively harness the precious bandwidth while satisfying the HDR requests from users, it is crucial to use a judicious burst admission control algorithm. In this paper, we propose and evaluate the performance of a novel jointly adaptive burst admission algorithm, called the synergistic burst admission control algorithm to allocate valuable resources (i.e., channels) in wideband CDMA systems to burst HDR requests. We consider the spatial dimension only, and by that we mean the algorithm performs scheduling and admission control, for the current frame only, based solely on the selection diversity in the geographical and mobility aspects. The scheduler does not exploit the temporal dimension in that it does not make allocation decisions about future frames (i.e., requests that do not get allocation are simply ignored and such requests will be treated as new request in future frames). In the physical layer, we use a variable rate channel-adaptive modulation and coding system which offers variable throughput depending on the instantaneous channel condition. In the MAC layer, we use the proposed optimal multiple-burst admission algorithm, induced by our novel integer programming formulation of the admission control and scheduling problem. We demonstrate that synergy could be attained by interactions between the adaptive physical layer and the burst admission layer. Both the forward link and the reverse link burst requests are considered and the system is evaluated by dynamic simulations which takes into account of the user mobility, power control and soft handoff. We found that significant performance improvement, in terms of average packet delay, data user capacity and coverage, could be achieved by our scheme compared to the existing burst assignment algorithms.
