Table 1 AMC modes and their operating regions
From: Reconfigurable antennas and link adaptation algorithms for MIMO-OFDM wireless systems
AMC mode | Modulation type | Overall coding rate | Data rate (bps/Hz) | Regions for target BER 10−3 (dB) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
AMC1 | BPSK | 1/2 | 0.5 | \(2.2\leq \text {ppSNR}^{j^{*}} < 6.8\) |
AMC2 | 4-QAM | 1/2 | 1 | \(6.8\leq \text {ppSNR}^{j^{*}}< 8.6\) |
AMC3 | 4-QAM | 3/4 | 1.5 | \(8.6\leq \text {ppSNR}^{j^{*}} < 13.6\) |
AMC4 | 16-QAM | 1/2 | 2 | \(13.6\leq \text {ppSNR}^{j^{*}}<15.3\) |
AMC5 | 16-QAM | 3/4 | 3 | \(15.3\leq \text {ppSNR}^{j^{*}}<21\) |
AMC6 | 64-QAM | 2/3 | 4 | \(21\leq \text {ppSNR}^{j^{*}}<23\) |
AMC7 | 64-QAM | 3/4 | 4.5 | \(\text {ppSNR}^{j^{*}}\geq 23\) |
