POWER-CONTROL FOR MULTIMODE TRANSCEIVERS

The performance of a power-control algorithm [7] suitable for multi-mode transceivers is investigated using 1, 2 and 4 bit/symbol modems. It is shown that the algorithm is suitable for maintaining a tar-get frame error rate, irrespective of the modula-tion mode employed. The transceiver parameters are summarised in Table 1, while the minimum and maximum required average transmitted powers in the cell for the different modes are given in Table 4. 1
