Threshold controlling scheme for adaptive modulation and coding system

Abstract

Adaptive modulation and coding scheme (AMC) is an effective way to achieve high data rate communication. In AMC system, the key issue is to determine the switching rule for different modulation and coding scheme (MCS). In this paper, adaptive threshold controlling scheme for AMC is proposed. The proposed scheme controls switching thresholds according to target block error rate. Simulation results have shown that the throughput performance of the proposed scheme is very close to the performance, which obtained by the optimum SIR thresholds.
