Power-Rate Allocation in DS/CDMA Based on Discretized Verhulst Equilibrium

This paper proposes to extend the discrete Verhulst power equilibrium approach, previously suggested in [1], to the power-rate optimal allocation problem. Multirate users associated to different types of traffic are aggregated to distinct user' classes, with the assurance of minimum rate allocation per user and QoS. Herein, Verhulst power allocation algorithm was adapted to the single-input-single-output DS/CDMA jointly power-rate control problem. The analysis was carried out taking into account the convergence time, quality of solution, in terms of the normalized squared error (NSE), when compared with the analytical solution based on interference matrix inverse, and computational complexity. Numerical results demonstrate the validity of the proposed resource allocation methodology.
