Impact of channel estimation error on adaptive modulation performance in flat fading

Presented here is an approach to analyzing the effect of imperfect channel estimation on adaptive modulation. The sensitivity of the main performance parameters to short-term and long-term estimation error sources is summarized in a set of new formulas that are either closed-form expressions or simple to compute numerically.
