===Power control and QoS using Dynamic Resource Scheduling(DRS) Pathway===
The Mobile Station(MS) performs Matching of Traffic Descriptors such as Peak Cell Rate(PRC),Sustainable Cell Rate(SCR) and obtains the connection parameters like average cell rate, SIR, Delay from them. These parameters are sent to the Base Station(BS) where they are queued in a FIFO. The BS determines a spreading factor which allocates the Orthogonal Varible Spread code(OVSF) using '''Gi = W / Ri''',where W=system bandwidth which is a constant for a system and Ri= data rate of radio frame.<br> The base station calculates a value of power index '''gi= (vi / (vi+Gi))'''and hence Power levels and transmits them to the MS. This information is conveyed to the MS using TPC(Transmission Power Control) bits and a closed loop power control method as explained in section 5.6 above is performed to obtain the final value of power at which transmission should be done.
The method and algorithm to schedule optimal power using Dyanamic Resource Scheduling is detailed in the IEEE paper 765366 [[Media:IEEEGurbuz.pdf|Dynamic Resource Scheduling for Variable QoS Traffic in W-CDMA - Ozgur Gurbuz, Henry Owen]].
==Conclusion==
Substantial amount of research has been done in the field of QoS in CDMA communication system in the year 1998-99 and this has led to the invention of multitude of methodologies ranging from power control to Rate matching and so on with the sole aim of improving QoS.
