Abstract

Adaptive transmission is an effective way to improve the performance of communication links in time-varying channel environments. Former works use this technique to maximize the throughput; but we exploit it to minimize BER in a system with diversity reception. We do so by adapting power in response to the channel variations. We use analytical methods to derive our results. These expressions can be used for any type of channel fading and any modulation scheme. We then apply this method to a special case of 4-QAM over Rayleigh channel with MRC reception.

A novel low-complexity transmission power adaptation in MC-CDMA systems with a-MRC receiver over Nakagami-m fading channels

In this paper, we propose a novel low-complexity transmission power adaptation with good bit error rate (BER) performance for multicarrier code-division multiple-access (MC-CDMA) systems over Nakagami-m fading channels. We first propose a new receiver ...
Transmit beamforming with power adaptation in downlink multi-user systems

This paper addresses power adaptation in the context of beamforming in the downlink of a cellular system. Specifically, we consider a system consisting of a base station (BS) with multiple antennas and multiple users each with a single antenna, in which ...
