A New Equivalent SNR Calculation in AMC

This paper presents a new equivalent SNR calculation method of received frame in AMC algorithm to decide for the appropriate MCS to be used in the next frame. The equivalent SNR calculation is based on channel capacity equivalence and combined with a factor Q which penalizes channel variations. Simulation results show that this method provides a good throughput performance, and it can be generalized for other application cases easily
