A Multi-Objective Power Control Scheme Based on Genetic Algorithm

Although power control has been explored since 1990s, there still remains the need for further research. Since the optimization objectives always contradict each other, we propose a scheme which solves the power control problems by combining a multi-objective technology with a genetic algorithm. The proposed algorithm can realize the optimal control of power in a CDMA system. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can decrease the total transmission power consumption significantly with a low outage percentage. The system capacity is therefore increased.
