Abstract
Radio communication offers the great advantage of mobility for users. At least two important systems exploit this feature: packet radio networks and personal communication systems. Since their radio links are subject to rapid changes in quality, the ability to adapt to these changes has much to offer in improving throughput, delay, and robustness characteristics. This paper addresses three areas. First, it presents the design fundamentals of an adaptive link-gain control algorithm for a multiple access radio channel. Second, it develops a probabilistic model for a related family of algorithms, which includes models for the effects of code-division multiple access interference. Third, it uses two sample algorithms to explore the transient behaviour of the system. The two algorithms are chosen to compare the relative merits of designs that emphasize adapting to channel noise versus adapting to multiple access interference. Transient analysis is sparse in the literature and is an important contribution of this paper.
