Abstract:
Todays wireless services have come a long way since the roll out of
the conventional voice-centric cellular systems. The demand for
wireless access in voice and high rate data multi-media applications
has been increasing. New generation wireless communication systems
are aimed at accommodating this demand through better resource
management and improved transmission technologies. The widespread
usage of the adaptation techniques for the evolution of wireless
mobile radio systems is one way to achieve this goal. In this
chapter, adaptation algorithms are discussed for improving wireless
mobile radio system performance and capacity. First, an overview of
adaptive resource management and adaptive transmission technologies
is given. Then, parameter measurements that make many of these
adaptation techniques possible are discussed in detail. Finally,
several examples that demonstrate the application of adaptation
techniques, along with the required parameters, are presented.
