We study the performance of a unified power control and forward error correction control algorithm for mobile radio systems that attempts to maximize system capacity and minimize transmitter power utilization while satisfying user defined quality of service constraints. The algorithm is distributed, with each individual transmitter-receiver pair determining its own operating point with respect to power and error control parameters. Simulation results from a cellular system with mobile users show that this unified algorithm outperforms the schemes that use power control alone.
