Abstract:
A throughput maximization algorithm for a CDMA system comprising of variable bit rate (VBR) groups has been proposed. The algorithm is aimed at efficiently utilizing the radio resources for maximal throughput while meeting the minimum data transmission rate and Quality of Service (QoS) requirements of each user group. The power of each group is also dynamically controlled so as to minimize the cell interference thereby maximizing the system capacity. The model also predicts the reduction in effective cell radius because of cell breathing under Gaussian noise and a Rayleigh faded channel. The simulation of multiple input multiple output (MIMO) antenna in such a system reports an improvement in the Bit Error Rate (BER) performance of the system by up to 80%. The allocation scheme efficiently utilizes as much as 99.9% of the available bandwidth in the system.
