Adaptive Modulation and Coding for Bit Interleaved Coded Multiple Beamforming

— Bit interleaved coded multiple beamforming (BICMB) was previously designed to achieve full spatial multiplexing of min(N, M) and full spatial diversity of NM for N transmit and M receive antennas over flat fading channels. Furthermore, BICMB when combined with orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) achieves full spatial multiplexing and full diversity order of NML over L-tap frequency-selective channels. BICMB requires full channel state information (CSI) both at the transmitter and receiver, however it uses uniform power and rate over the parallel channels established by multiple beamforming. In this paper, our main goal is to investigate the performance of the previously analyzed BICMB system via adaptive modulation and coding (AMC) to further utilize CSI and to improve system throughput performance. Hence, we name the new systems as Adaptive BICMB (ABICMB) over flat fading, and ABICMB-OFDM over frequency-selective channels. Simulation results show that adaptive syst...
