Power control is sometimes used to mitigate variation due to fading. Here we<br />
will focus on signal power variation and the technique of target-C power control.<br />
When the signal fades down in power, the receiver tells the transmitter to use more<br />
power. The transmitter ensures that the signal power (summed over all signal<br />
paths) is kept constant at the receiver. Such a form of power control makes sense,<br />
for example, for a CDMA uplink, in which users share how much power they are<br />
allowed to create at the intended receiver. Here we assume an ideal form, which is<br />
simulated by normalizing the fading coefficients of each fading realization so that<br />
their powers instantaneously sum to one. Note that we have ignored the fact that<br />
the transmitter has a maximum transmit power, so that it may not always be able<br />
to maintain a certain power at the receiver.<br />
Results for the TwoTSfade channel with power control are given in Fig. 6.14.<br />
Compared to the results without power control, overall performance is better, as<br />
the signal power is not allowed to vary either up or down due to fading. However,<br />
performance is more improved for LE and DFE than for MF. This is because with<br />
power control, performance is ISI limited at high SNR, and LE and DFE mitigate<br />
the effects of ISI. Thus, with power control, the gains of equalization are larger.<br />
So far we have examined bit error rate, averaged over different fading realizations.<br />
Is this what we should look at? The answer depends on how the communication<br />
system is being used (the application) and how the system is designed. For example,<br />
consider speech and the GSM system. Speech is divided into short speech frames,<br />
which are encoded with a forward error correction (FEC) code. The system has
