Abstract

In this paper, we propose a cross-layer design that combines antenna selection and adaptive modulation strategies in a HSDPA context. In order to optimize system performance, in terms of link throughput, both the optimal transmit antenna subset and the corresponding constellation size are jointly selected. Algorithm performance is compared with that of a scheme where transmit antenna selection and adaptive modulation processes are conducted by exclusively considering physical layer parameters. Computer simulation results show the superior performance of the cross-layer approach for which computational complexity still remains affordable.
