Adaptive code rate for orthogonal code hopping multiplexing (OCHM) in synchronous downlink

We previously proposed an Orthogonal Code Hopping Multiplexing(OCHM) scheme as a new statistical multiplexing scheme in synchronous downlink. OCHM enables a large number of users to share a limited number of code channels through statistical multiplexing. In this paper, we obtain the optimal code rate in several traffic load environments by simulation and summarize the appropriate traffic load region for each code rate as the optimal code rate. An adaptive code rate control scheme is proposed and the base station adaptively changes the code rate according to traffic environments in order to save power.
