Analysis of wireless transmission efficiency and its application: efficiency-based adaptive coding

Transmission efficiency, defined as the ratio of successfully transmitted information bits to overall bits transmitted, can be used for evaluating the transmission performance of wireless links. As a function of received signal to noise ratio (SNR), transmission efficiency is determined by physical layer technologies, such as channel coding, interleaving, modulation and other error-recovery techniques of wireless links. In this paper we first analyze the form of transmission efficiency function in wireless links, then based on that we propose an adaptive coding scheme that maximizes the transmission efficiency according to wireless channel conditions (received SNR). Simulation results show that with the proposed adaptive coding, transmission efficiency of wireless links can be significantly enhanced.
