Gains in Error-Constrained Data Throughput from Extremely Fast Adaptation of Symbol Durations over Multi-Path Fading Channels: Coded and Uncoded Systems

This paper quantitatively analyzes the gain in error-constrained data throughput due to the extremely rapid (symbol-by-symbol) adaptation of symbol durations. The analysis includes systems equipped with maximal ratio combining. For uncoded communication systems, we provide numerical results obtained from the analysis of theoretical throughput gains. For some coded communication systems with commonly used error correction codes, we provide numerical throughput gain results obtained from simulations.
