Performance Analysis of a Adaptive OFDM-MIMO System

This paper demonstrates OFDM with adaptive modulation applied to Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) systems. We apply an optimization algorithm to obtain a bit and power allocation for each subcarrier assuming instantaneous channel knowledge. The analysis and simulation is considered in two stages. The first stage involves the application of a variable-rate variable-power MQAM technique for a Single-Input Single-Output(SISO) OFDM system. This is compared with the performance of fixed OFDM transmission where a constant rate is applied to each subcarrier. The second stage applies adaptive modulation to a general MIMO system by making use of the Singular Value Decomposition to separate the MIMO channel into parallel subchannels. For a two-input antenna, two-output antenna system, the performance is compared with the performance of a system using selection diversity at the transmitter and maximal ratio combining at the receiver.
