Abstract

A new cluster-based channel envelope and phase predictor is proposed for dynamic link adaptation in broadband wireless systems, based on our observation that each Multipath Cluster (MC) has its own variation characteristics, which can be identified and traced precisely. The proposed predictor consists of a channel envelope predictor and a phase slope detector. The performance of the proposed channel predictor has been verified through numerical simulations and field test measurement data. At a channel SNR of 6.05 dB and a prediction range of 240 Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbols, the obtained normalized mean square error is less than -20 dB.
