Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology constitutes a breakthrough in the design of
wireless communications systems, and is already at the core of several wireless standards …

We examine adaptive modulation schemes for flat-fading channels where the data rate,
transmit power, and instantaneous BER are varied to maximize spectral efficiency, subject to …

Wireless local area networks (W-LANs) have become increasingly popular due to the recent
availability of affordable devices that are capable of communicating at high data rates …

We developed a cross-layer design which combines adaptive modulation and coding at the
physical layer with a truncated automatic repeat request protocol at the data link layer, in …

In two editions spanning more than a decade, The Electrical Engineering Handbook stands
as the definitive reference to the multidisciplinary field of electrical engineering. Our …

Against the backdrop of the emerging 3G wireless personal communications standards and
broadband access network standard proposals, this volume covers a range of coding and …

An important accomplishment of information theory is the determination of the channel
capacity, C, which quantifies the maximum achievable transmission rate, C∗, of a system …
