A method and system of allocating a bandwidth and a power for a wireless user. The method includes for an allocated bandwidth determining a transmission power and adjusting the transmission power based on whether a bit rate and an error rate associated with the transmission power and the allocated bandwidth satisfy one or more predetermined criteria. The method further processing information associated with the adjusted transmission power and determining a power level indicator. Additionally, the method includes determining whether the power level indicator satisfies one or more predetermined third criteria. If the power level indicator is determined not to satisfy the one or more predetermined third criteria, the method includes adjusting the allocated bandwidth from the first bandwidth to a second bandwidth for the wireless user. Otherwise, the method includes keeping the allocated bandwidth.
