Abstract:
In this paper, a new adaptive power control
algorithm for Universal Mobile Telecommunication
System (UMTS) is proposed. The new algorithm
conforms UMTS specifications and does not require any
additional signalling. Simulation result shows that it
significantly outperforms the power control algorithm
typically used in UMTS in terms of received signal level,
and power control errors. Also, the proposed algorithm
can achieve very similar performance as adaptive
algorithms which require speed estimation and
knowledge of the optimal stepsize for each user speed.
