Deployment and Link Planning of Adaptive Coding and Modulation Radio Networks

This article covers how Adaptive Coding and Modulation (ACM) systems operate and can be deployed, illustrates their significant advantages, and recommends a new planning methodology. It shows that significant increases in data throughput can be obtaine...
Operators are faced with the challenge of providing enough transmission capacity for the almost exponential demand in bandwidth from new data services, while constrained by a relatively modest increase in revenue from those services (see Figure 1 ). This additional bandwidth demand is not an issue for fiber optic...
