Description: Wireless communication service providers have witnessed a great upsurge of the demand for the new data services such as short message service (SMS), e-mail, Web browsing and file transfer. This is mostly due to the explosive growth of the Internet and at the same time the increasing tendency of the users to access the Internet on-the-go. The inherent delay tolerance of these new services opens up the possibility of postponing the transmission in case of bad channel condition in return for improved energy efficiency. However, the existing power control algorithms are tailored to real-time services such as voice and they turn out to be inefficient in this respect. In this thesis we develop a distributed power control algorithm which allows users to reduce their powers whenever they face high interference levels. Moreover our algorithm is readily integrated into ordinary power control for a mixture of real-time and non-real-time traffic.
