ABSTRACT
Today’s wireless services have come a long way since the roll-out of the conventional voice-centric cellular systems. The demand for wireless access in voice and high-rate-data multimedia applications has been increasing. New-generation wireless communications systems are aimed at accommodating this demand through better resource management and improved transmission technologies. The widespread use of the adaptation techniques for the evolution of wireless mobile radio systems is one way to achieve this goal.
In this chapter, adaptation algorithms are discussed for improving wireless mobile radio system performance and capacity. First, an overview of adaptive resource management and adaptive transmission technologies is given. Then, parameter measurements that make many of these adaptation techniques possible are discussed in detail. Finally, several examples that demonstrate the application of adaptation techniques, along with the required parameters, are presented.
