Abstract

A feedback power control approach that allows power commands to be updated at a higher rate than the rate of multipath fading is investigated. The signal and interference statistics as received at the base stations after power control are obtained for a simulated direct-sequence code-division multiple-access (CDMA) system, which includes multiple base stations with diversity receivers and a large number of power-controlled users continuously moving at various speeds. It is shown that often-used analyses based on perfect average power control lead to optimistic capacity results (by 25% to 60%) because interference is underestimated by 1 to 2 dB
