In this paper we present a Link-to-System (L2S) level interface solution able to deal with multistate wireless channels, like when techniques such Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) antennas and Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) are considered. A physical layer model towards Long Term Evolution (LTE) of 3rd. Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) was used for evaluation of Effective SNR Mapping (ESM)-based solutions, when we have been assuming several Modulation and Coding Schemes (MCSs) and wireless channel models. The numerical results showed that the use of Exponential ESM (EESM) is suitable to the next generation of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) wireless systems.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
