A Novel Technique for Link Adaptation Based on Inner Receiver Statistics

Abstract

The fast-moving evolution of new technologies is driving the future mobile networks to a challenging pursuit for high throughput and reliability. Emerging services will need precise indicators to address contrasting requisites and link adaptation is a cardinal element. The received signal measurements must provide complete information to perform appropriate and timely decisions. Most communication systems employ statistics based on error rates, but it is not sufficient to accomplish all requirements. Additional information is necessary to define the best parametrization for each application. This paper indicates an approach to achieve this goal by monitoring processes directly into the physical layer decoding.
