Abstract: A novel adaptive AMC/HARQ scheme is proposed. The scheme makes use of ACK/NAK information to control the modulation/coding format, hence the C/I information feedback is no more required. The convergence and throughput performance in staticchannel is analyzed and the simulated performance for time varying fading channel is shown. The performance of the proposed scheme is comparable to the conventional C/I based AMC/HARQ where the C/I information known to the transmitter is not accurate. With the proposed scheme, the system design can be simplified and the reverse link capacity can be saved in case where the reverse link capacity isscarce.

Key words: adaptive modulation/coding, hybrid-ARQ, ACK
