Power Control in Wireless Networks

Characteristics and Fundamentals

  • Chapter

Abstract

The global communications systems critically rely on control algorithms of various kinds. In UMTS (universal mobile telephony system) - the third generation mobile telephony system just being launched, power control algorithms play an important role for efficient resource utilization. This chapter describes power control fundamentals including both theoretical and practical limitations. The relations to session management such as admission and congestion control is also addressed. Concepts and algorithms are illustrated by simple examples and simulations.
