Abstract: We introduce a power control algorithm that exploits queue length information to achieve maximum data throughput in single-hop CDMA wireless networks. The algorithm operates in real-time, i.e., executes a single iteration per data transmission. A variant of the algorithm employing the exponential scheduling rule steers queue length ratios to desired targets.
