Transmission power control for downlinks in CDMA/shared-TDD cellular packet systems

This paper proposes a transmission power control scheme for downlinks in CDMA/shared-TDD cellular packet systems that experience inter-cell interference between uplinks and downlinks. The proposed scheme increases the downlink transmission power for re-transmission packets and thus improves the signal-to-interference ratio for the packets. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme improves the downlink throughput without sacrificing the uplink throughput.
