Abstract:

A bit loading and power allocation algorithm with low complexity in adaptive modulation for vertical-Bell laboratory layered space-time systems was proposed to implement the rate maximization, satisfying peak power constraint on each antenna as well as the average total power limit. The proposed algorithm is of the same optimal allocation as the incremental algorithm while the computation complexity declines significantly. The simulation results show that the limitation of per-antenna peak power will decrease the bit rate under the target bit error rate.

Key words: vertical-Bell laboratory layered space-time, adaptive modulation, loading algorithm, power constraint
