The impact of dynamic range on open-loop power control error
Direct sequence code division multiple access (DS-CDMA) techniques have received a great deal of attention for current and future communication systems. One of the major considerations in implementing a DS-CDMA system is the necessity for accurate power control to ensure adequate quality-of-service and capacity. This paper investigates the measurement error of an open-loop power control algorithm under transmit power limitation. The power control error is analysed and numerically computed.
