Abstract

We propose a variable-power and variable-rate coded MQAM modulation technique for high-speed data transmission on fading channels. Coding gain is obtained by superimposing trellis codes designed for AWGN channels on the adaptive modulation, and we obtain the same coding gains as these codes exhibit in AWGN. We present analytical and simulation results which show a 3dB coding gain relative to uncoded adaptive modulation for a simple 4-state trellis code, and a 4 dB coding gain for an 8-state trellis code. More complex trellis codes achieve higher gains
