Resource Allocation in a Cellular CDMA Environment (original) (raw)

A cellular environment is considered, based on CDMA. The main goal is to optimize the overall system capacity, in order to equalize and minimize the blocking probability of new calls entering into the system; at the same time, a constraint on the outage probability and, possibly, another one on handoff blocking are enforced. The control is based on the multiple access interference threshold, and the optimization algorithm tries to find the best choice of the admittance thresholds, based on the "a priori" knowledge of the traffic characteristics, and of a mobility model of the users.
