Adaptive modulation MIMO system based on minimizing transmission power

【Abstract】 Adaptive modulation (AM) is an effective technique to approach the theoretical bound of multi-input and multi-output (MIMO) channel. In most previous studies, the AM parameters were obtained by maximizing the transmission rate for a given total transmit power. In this paper, a novel AM-MIMO algorithm is presented, which is based on minimizing total transmit power when the link’s QoS requirements are given. By taking the QoS requirements into account directly, the proposed algorithm not only makes the system more flexible, but also makes the cross layer design of wireless network easier. At last, the numerical results of the proposed scheme are presented.更多还原
