In earlier works on transmitter power control in cellular radio systems, the problem of whether a signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) threshold is achievable is determined by apparently different rules for homogeneous and heterogeneous SIR systems. In this paper, we present a unified and more universal framework for both cases. We also highlight the conditions under which a given SIR threshold vector for the heterogeneous SIR system is achievable, although so far there is no general solution to this problem.

CAC is a very important issue in CDMA system in order to protect the required QoS(quality of service) and increase the system's capacity. In this paper, we proposed and analyzed a call admission control scheme using multiple thresholds, which can provide quick processing time and better performance. There are two effective thresholds used to decide call admission. One is the number of active users, and the other is the signal to interference ratio(SIR). If the threshold of active users are lower than the low number of users threshold, we accept the new call without any other conditions. Otherwise, we check the current SIR to guarantee the quality of our service. System then accepts the new call when the SIR satisfies system requirement. Otherwise, the call will be rejected. Multiple threshold schemes are investigated and their performance is compared with the number of user and power based CAC's. simulation results are provided to evaluate the performance.

In this paper, we proposed a handoff decision method based on signal-to-interference ratio(SIR) of the pilot channel in order to perform a handoff more effectively and to complement disadvantages - deterioration quality of a call, decreasing capacity of the system, and wasting power of the mobile station - which is caused when handoff is performed by the classical method that execute a handoff based on received signal strength. Moreover, when we change that the minimum threshold, the cell loading which is defined active traffic channels to total traffic channels ratio, and the fraction of the transmit power from base station allocated to the pilot channel on the forward link of a DS-CDMA system, we analyzed mean numbers of handoff depending on hysteresis level during the mobile station moving from one base station to another base station.

The spectral efficiency of cellular networks can be improved when proximate users engage in device-to-device (D2D) communications to communicate directly without going through a base station. However, D2D communications that are not properly designed may generate interference with existing cellular networks. In this paper, we study resource allocation and power control to minimize the probability of an outage and maximize the overall network throughput. We investigate three power control-based schemes: the Partial Co-channel based Overlap Resource Power Control (PC.OVER), Fractional Frequency Reuse based Overlap Resource Power Control (FFR.OVER) and Fractional Frequency Reuse based Adaptive Power Control (FFR.APC) and also compare their performance. In PC.OVER, a certain portion of the total bandwidth is dedicated to the D2D. The FFR.OVER and FFR.APC schemes combine the FFR techniques and the power control mechanism. In FFR, the entire frequency band is partitioned into two parts, including a central and edge sub-bands. Macrocell users (mUEs) transmit using uniform power in the inner and outer regions of the cell, and in all three schemes, the D2D receivers (D2DRs) transmit with low power when more than one D2DRs share a resource block (RB) with the macrocells. For PC.OVER and FFR.OVER, the power of the D2DRs is reduced to its minimum, and for the FFR.APC scheme, the transmission power of the D2DRs is iteratively adjusted to satisfy the signal to interference ratio (SIR) threshold. The three schemes exhibit a significant improvement in the overall system capacity as well as in the probability of a user outage when compared to a conventional scheme.
