An adaptive power control and coding scheme for mobile radio systems

Abstract

We propose a dynamic combined power control and forward error correction control (FEC) algorithm for mobile radio systems that can minimize the power consumed by wireless transmitters while increasing the number of simultaneous connections. This algorithm is distributed, where individual transmitter-receiver pairs determine the minimal power and FEC to satisfy specified quality-of-service (QOS) constraints. We present simulation results showing that this algorithm outperforms previous algorithms that use only power control.
