Abstract

Much interest has been shown in employing LEO satellite communication systems. A novel algorithm is proposed for adaptive bit loading (multilevel modulation assignment) between COFDM subcarriers in a frequency selective fading channel. Two-dimensional alignment has been carried out. The system performance is greatly improved at low elevation angles compared to that using fixed bit loading. Furthermore, the comparison shows that this adaptive bit loading COFDM system is suitable for frequency selective slow fading channels, which have time-varying deep nulls in the frequency response.
