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 3rd 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
