Abstract

W-CDMA is the strongest candidate as the air interface technology of the third generation mobile communication systems, which are expected to support multimedia services with QoS requirements. In this paper, we review the W-CDMA technology and consider the issues in multimedia support. We propose the dynamic resource scheduling mechanism for QoS provisioning in W-CDMA through optimal power assignment and code hopping. Our framework is able to carry variable QoS multimedia traffic, efficiently serving a wide range of classes with CBR, VBR, ABR and UBR characteristics. Dynamic resource scheduling improves capacity and throughput performance. Other advantages are power saving and faster convergence to the desired power level
