Abstract:
When adaptive modulation is used to counter
 short-term fading in mobile radio channels, 
signaling delays create problems with outdated 
channel state information. The use of channel 
power prediction will improve the performance 
of the link adaptation. It is then of interest to take 
the quality of these predictions into account
 explicitly when designing an adaptive modulation scheme. 
We study the optimum design of an adaptive modulation 
scheme based on uncoded M-QAM modulation 
assisted by channel prediction for the 
flat Rayleigh fading channel. 
 
The data rate, and in some variants the transmit power, 
are adapted to maximize the spectral efficiency 
subject to average power and bit error rate constraints. 
The key issues studied here are how a known 
prediction error variance will affect the optimized 
transmission properties such as the SNR boundaries 
that determine when to apply different modulation rates, 
and to what extent it affects the spectral efficiency. 
 
This investigation is performed by analytical 
optimization of the link adaptation, using the 
statistical properties of a particular but efficient 
channel power predictor. 
Optimum solutions for the rate and transmit power 
are derived based on the predicted SNR and 
the prediction error variance.
