Power and bit allocation for goodput optimization in BIC-OFDM systems

This paper contributes with an adaptive modulation scheme intended for bit interleaved coded (BIC) orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) packet transmission in the presence of automatic repeat request (ARQ) protocol. The basic idea consists in properly combining the power allocation strategy with a bit-loading procedure among the different subcarriers so that the rate of information bits received without any error is maximized. Numerical simulations corroborate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme when operating over typical wireless environments.
