Abstract

A CDMA personal communication system with integratedvoice/data traffic is considered, in which the linkerror performance is controlled according to the voiceerror rate requirement, and the acceptable datatraffic error rate is ensured by ARQ. Optimum powerassignment (or allocation) between voice and datausers is investigated to maximize the total systemthroughput. A graphical method (the tangent method) isdescribed to obtain this optimum power allocation. Themaximum throughput is expressed as a function of othersystem parameters. The tangent method is further usedto measure the impact of transmission quality on themaximum data throughput. Numerical results and adesign example are given for a power controlledwideband IS-95 type wireless personal communicationsystem.
