Fixed thresholds for power allocation and management in WCDMA mixed services scenarios

In this contribution we evaluate the utilization of fixed thresholds for allocation and management of downlink dedicated channels (DCH) transmission power in WCDMA mixed service scenarios. We have made use of system-level dynamic simulation approach. We assess modified versions of the call admission control (CAC) and the power control (PC) algorithms. The system performance is evaluated taking into consideration the quality of service (QoS) experienced by connected users and the utilization of available power resources.
