I. INTRODUCTION The rapid growth in the use of information networks, increasing the data rates, led to the necessity to implement novel technique aiming to improve wireless networks communication performance. In conventional communication systems, transmission characteristics are adjusted for the worst channel setting behavior in order to provide a lower limit to a specific error rate [1]. Adaptive Modulation and Coding (AMC), which includes both adaptive modulation (AdM) and adaptive Forward Error Correction (AdFEC) operating together, have been developed to face fading and enhance the wireless systems performance. They maximize bandwidth efficiency through selecting an optimal combination from the modulation and coding scheme (MCS), where the resolution depends on the channel state information. Consequently, every modulation and code scheme will be linked to a constellation size and coding rate respectively [2]. AMC allows spectrally efficient transmission in function of time-
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
