Abstract

See full text

Techniques to select a suitable transmission mode for a data transmission in a multi-channel communication system with multiple transmission channels having varying SNRs. In one method, an SNR estimate is initially obtained for each of multiple transmission channels used to transmit a data stream. An average SNR and an unbiased variance are then computed for the SNR estimates for the multiple transmission channels. A back-off factor is determined, for example, based on the SNR variance and a scaling factor. An operating SNR for the transmission channels is next computed based on the average SNR and the back-off factor. The transmission mode is then selected for the data stream based on the operating SNR. The selected transmission mode is associated with a highest required SNR that is less than or equal to the operating SNR. The method may be used for any system with multiple transmission channels having varying SNRs.
