The problem of admission control in a DS-CDMA network carrying a heterogeneous mix of traffic is addressed. In an interference limited system such as DS-CDMA, admission of a new user impacts the performance of all other users, as well as the system capacity. The admission process is concerned with two factors: (1) maintaining the QoS of active users, (2) allocating bandwidth to new users. We propose a simple power control algorithm and prove that it is optimal in the sense of maintaining active link quality while maximizing free capacity for new admissions. The algorithm scales the powers of active links appropriately to achieve link protection and improved tolerance of the link to new interference from bursty sources. This algorithm can be used to overlay bursty packet data services without compromising QoS of active circuits.
