Abstract

The variability of the wireless channel requires adaptive techniques for efficient, radio resource service The throughput gains for ideal rate adaptation over nonadaptation in a wideband CDMA communication system is analyzed. The result is obtained by using the derived probability density functions of service ratio. We further investigate how performance degrades with adaptation restrictions, which include adaptation interval, Doppler effect, delays associated with channel state information feedback, and finite number of spreading factors. Our results show that rate adaptation with restrictions does not always bring gains over nonadaptation.
