Abstract:
In 3G WCDMA, several multi-code assignment mechanisms have proposed to reduce the waste rate. Nevertheless, these methods bring two inevitable drawbacks including, high complexity of handling multiple codes, and increasing the cost of using more rake combiners at both the base stations and mobile nodes. Therefore, we propose an adaptive grouping code assignment herein to provide a single channelization code for any possible rate of traffic, even though the required rate is not powers of two of the basic rate. Based on the dynamic programming algorithm, the adaptive grouping approach forms several calls into a group. Then it allocates a subtree to the group and adaptively shares the subtree codes for these calls in the concept of time-sharing of slots during a group cycle time. Numerical results indicate that the proposed adaptive grouping approach reduces significantly the waste rate and thus increases the system utilization.
