Abstract
Transmission of data with receiver-controlled bit rate is an effective way to reduce the effect of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) fluctuations, as in a fading channel. All previous publications on this subject ignore the critical topic of buffer size. This concise paper summarizes the results of the first study of the effect of finite buffers on a variable-rate system for fading channels.
