On the integrated transmit power control and base station assignment in reverse links of cellular CDMA networks

CDMA systems are inherently interference limited and dynamic power control combined with dynamic base station assignment has been effective in reducing the transmitter power and hence increasing the system capacity. The paper discusses the performance of a load balanced network that is implemented using an integrated, dynamic transmit power control and base station assignment scheme. Simulation results showing the effect of dynamic load sharing and balancing are also presented.
