Summary: | This paper investigates the benefit of adaptive modulation based on channel state information (CSI) in direct-sequence/ code-division multiple-access (DS/CDMA) multihop packet radio networks. By exploiting varying channel conditions, adaptive modulation can be used in ad hoc networks to provide upper layers with higher capacity links over which to relay traffic. Using the /spl alpha/-stable interference model, the distribution of the signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) is obtained for a slotted system of randomly, uniformly distributed nodes using multilevel coherent modulation schemes. Performance is evaluated in terms of the information efficiency, which is a new progress-related measure for multihop networks. Three types of adaptivity are analyzed, differing in the level of CSI available: 1) full knowledge of the SIR at the receiver; 2) knowledge of only the signal attenuation due to fading; and 3) knowledge of only the slow fading component of the signal attenuation. The effect of imperfect channel information is also investigated. Sample results are given for interference-limited networks experiencing fourth-power path loss with distance, Ricean fading, and lognormal shadowing. |
