It is well known that IEEE 802.11 provides a physical layer multirate capability and, hence,
MAC layer mechanisms are needed to exploit this capability. Several solutions have been …

Scheduling plays an important role in providing quality of service (QoS) support to
multimedia communications in various kinds of wireless networks, including cellular …

In this paper, the performance of scheduling algorithms exploiting the multiuser selection
diversity is studied. The authors consider schedulers with affordable-rate transmission and …

In this paper, a cross-layer analytical framework is proposed to analyze the throughput and
packet delay of a two-hop wireless link. The adaptive modulation and coding (AMC) is …

Channel state information (CSI) at the transmitter can be used to adapt transmission rate or
antenna gains in multi-antenna systems. We propose a rate-adaptive M-QAM scheme …

This paper considers a progressive image transmission system over wireless channels by
combining joint source-channel coding (JSCC), space-time coding, and orthogonal …

Both adaptive modulation and diversity combining represent important enabling techniques
for future generations of wireless communication systems. In this paper, capitalizing on …

We propose a feedback algorithm for wireless networks that always collects feedback from
the user with the best channel conditions and has a significant reduction in feedback load …

In this paper, we present a cross-layer design which combines adaptive modulation and
coding (AMC) at the physical layer with type-II hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) at …

In this paper, we focus on combining hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) at the data
link layer and adaptive modulation and coding (AMC) at the physical layer in a cross-layer …
