Signal-Level-Based Power Control over Slow Frequency Hopped Mobile Radio Systems

-In this paper, we analyze the joint effects of Power Control (PC) and Slow Frequency Hopping (SFH): we pr+ poae a semi-analytical procedure to determine the outage of SFH TDMA-based mobile radio systems with Signal-Level- Baaed Power Control, both for the u p l i and the downlink. In the uplink case the procedure is completely Matytical whereas the down-link requires a semi-dyticalappmmh to take users' positions into account. With the aim of showing that the behavior of the systems can be improved by means of suitable choice of the PC parameters, we evaluate the performance of SFH TDMA mobile radio systems in terms of Service Coverage.
