Summary: 
To obtain a high throughput for transmission control protocol (TCP) connections over the wireless links, we previously proposed a novel transmission power control method for code division multiple access (CDMA) packet communication systems. By using this transmission power control method, we developed a transmission power control method and a packet multiplexing method to transmit constant bit rate (CBR) and TCP packets over CDMA wireless systems. Our methods can guarantee the quality of service (QoS) for CBR connections and utilize bandwidth effectively without modifying the TCP protocol or using slot assignments. Evaluation of our methods by computer simulation showed that the proposed methods provide a near-maximum throughput and guarantee the packet loss ratio of CBR connections regardless of the number of connections.
