Interference Level Configuration in CDMA-based Cellular Networks1

Abstract: The accommodation of various traffic load situations in W-CDMA-based cellular systems requires the engineering of the allowed interference levels per cell. This paper presents functionality that can complement the design and management as well as the mechanisms required. The overall scheme is called Interference Level Configuration (ILC). It relies on the solution of problems, which will be concisely defined, optimally formulated and solved by computationally efficient algorithms. The proposed herewith algorithms are also able to co-operate with soft computing (SC) methods to the solution of problems in the power control domain. Numerical results will be presented
