Abstract

Three downlink power control algorithms have been studies and evaluated in this work. Additionally, an uplink power control algorithm has been modified and adapted for downlink. An enhancement has been proposed to one of the studied algorithms based on the concept of hysteresis to mitigate oscillations observed at low outage probabilities in the existing algorithms. It has been shown that the behavior of outage with number of iterations in the modified algorithm converges as rapidly as the original algorithm; however the oscillations at low outage percentages have been mitigated using this enhancement.
