This paper considers a wideband CDMA network with arbitrary but known layout of sectors and base-stations, and with variable mobile rates. The paper investigates the issue of rate assignment in a CDMA network. The paper shows that in a broadband wireless data system based on a wideband CDMA technology, there exists an optimal decentralized rate assignment. It shows how this method is related to the traditional window or rate based flow control mechanisms widely used in TCP/IP networks.
