Coordinated resource allocation scheme for forward link in sectorized CDMA systems

We propose a coordinated resource allocation (CRA) scheme that can be used to allocate high data-rate users in sectorized cells. This scheme is useful for allocating high data-rate users at cell boundaries. In order to analyze the performance of the proposed scheme, we make an interference model for a sectorized CDMA system and suggest the system load measurement of the forward link. Based on this system load measurement, data throughput for the CDMA system under perfect and imperfect power control is then analyzed. Numerical results show that throughput is significantly increased when the CRA scheme is used.
