Optimal Power Control Over Multiple Time-scale Fading Channels with Service Outage Constraints

Abstract

This paper considers the power-control problem for a fading channel in an information-theoretic framework. We derive power-control schemes to optimize ergodic capacity, outage capacity, and capacity with a service outage constraint. The novelty in the paper lies in the use of a two-time-scale fading process and its implications for the channel-state information available at the transmitter.
