  • Abstract
    We examine the integration of adaptive modulation and channel coding protocols with fountain coding in a packet radio system. We present three modes of operation for the adaptive transmission system, each of which adapts the channel code in a way that accommodates the fixed-length packets produced by the fountain encoder. Each mode works with the fountain coding system to mitigate the effects of time-varying fading on the radio links and provide high throughput.
