In this paper, we combine AMC (Adaptive Modulation and Coding) with MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) multiplexing to improve the throughput performance of AMC in Next Generation Communication Mobile Systems. In addition, we propose a system that adopts STD (Selection Transmit Diversity) in the combined system. The received SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio) is improved by adopting STD techniques and an improved SNR increases a probability of selecting MCS (Modulation and Coding Scheme) level that supports higher data rate. The computer simulation is performed in flat Rayleigh fading channel. The results show that higher throughput is achieved by AMC-TD schemes. AMC-STTD scheme shows about 250kbps increase in throughput. And AMC-STD with 2 transmit antennas achieves about 420 kbps throughput improvement over the conventional AMC at 9dB SNR.

A key requirement for packet based wireless communication systems is to provide a high data rate packet service and improved throughput. To achieve a high throughput, adaptive methods for adjustment of the modulation and coding can be used. In this paper, we propose and analyze a scheme which is a combination of an adaptive modulation and coding(AMC) and transmit diversity(TD). Two different TD schemes are analysed: STTD and STD. Proposed system provides significant improvement in the average throughput.
