Abstract

A cross layer approach based on queuing and adaptive modulation for MIMO systems has been presented. To realize the system, an adaptive modulation scheme using MIMO systems combined with finite-length queuing at the data link layer has been designed. A finite state Markov chain for MIMO channels has been constructed to persue the queuing analysis. The packet loss rate, the average throughput, and the average spectral efficiency have been computed. Furthermore, the packet error rate for adaptive modulation to minimize the packet loss rate and maximize the average throughput is extracted. The obtained results present the advantages of using the proposed cross layer architecture.
