This paper evaluates fixed step algorithm of closed loop power control and investigates an optimum step size for WCDMA communication employing high altitude platforms (HAPs). In CDMA, power control must be used to overcome near-far effect, shadowing and multipath fading. Users who are distributed within HAPs coverage will have different channel characteristic depending on their elevation angle. Therefore,...
