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.
