<p>A transmitter splits a user-data stream into a plurality of sub-streams. The transmitter then adaptively selects a modulation scheme and coding rate for each of the sub-streams based on current channel conditions. Next, a plurality of sub-carriers are modulated and encoded with the sub-stream data according to the selected modulation schemes and coding rates. The modulated sub-carriers are each allocated to one or more transmit antennas for transmission. Prior to transmission, a transmission power for each of the sub-carriers is adjusted based on the channel conditions. The adaptive modulation and coding function, the sub-carrier allocation function, and the power control function are jointly controlled to optimize throughput, signal quality, and system efficiency.</p> |
