Abstract

A CDMA uplink system that carries both voice and data traffic is investigated. The reservation-based admission control scheme is used to prioritize voice mobiles, and the truncated channel inversion power control scheme is used by data mobiles to improve system capacity. The performance of the system is measured by the Erlang capacity. Two methods of determining the Erlang capacity are presented. The first method decouples the analysis of blocking and outage performance, thus simplifying numerical search. The second method takes into account the impact of mobile traffic fluctuations on interference statistics, and thus yields more accurate results. Numerical results are provided that show significant differences between the two methods. Finally, the Erlang capacities of the system are compared for different power control schemes.
