Abstract

This paper describes and evaluates service-based power setting for the GSM/EDGE Radio Access Network (GERAN). Service-based power setting is a simple radio resource management scheme that allows management of multiple services with controlled quality of service (QoS), which is crucial for 3^rd generation systems. Simulation results indicate that with proper power offsets between bearer services previously established single service capacities may be maintained also for a mix of different services. It is further shown that the power setting principles work well in combination with power control
