Abstract
The impact of channel state estimation errors in a CDMA system employing adaptive modulation and coding in conjunction with multicodes is studied. The channel is modelled as a finite-state Markov chain and the performances using (1) a simple moving average (SMA) filter (2) a hidden Markov model (HMM) filter to estimate the channel state are compared. The results show that the HMM filter is more robust and provides a significant throughput improvement over the SMA filter, especially when the channel estimate is quite noisy or the normalized Doppler rate is small.
