ANALYTICAL COMPARISON OF THE PERFORMANCE OF ADAPTIVE MODULATION AND CODING IN WIRELESS NETWORK UNDER RAYLEIGH FADING

Abstract In this paper, an analytic comparison between adaptive modulation (AdM) and adaptive Forward Error Correction (AdFEC) in wireless network telecommunication systems is performed. Through the Gilbert-Elliott model's, the Packet Error Rate (PER) is calculated and both the throughput and the delay, for different modulations and error correction capacity, have been also computed. For the throughput criterion, the results show that the AdFEC outperforms AdM for higher values of Signal Noise-to-Ratio (SNR). However, when the SNR has low value the adaptive modulation performs better. In case of delay criterion, the mean time to transmit a packet using AdM is lower than when AdFEC is used.
