Abstract :
Adaptive transmission protocols are required for efficient communications in packet radio systems that must transmit over time-varying wireless channels. We present a protocol that employs simple receiver statistics for adapting the error-control code and modulation format from packet to packet in response to changes in the channel´s propagation loss, such as those caused by fading and shadowing.
