Realistic Prediction of BER and AMC for Indoor Wireless Transmissions

Bit error rate (BER) is an important parameter for evaluating the performance of wireless networks. In this letter, a realistic BER for indoor wireless transmissions is predicted. The prediction is based on a deterministic radio propagation model, the Multi-Resolution Frequency Domain ParFlow (MR-FDPF) model, which is capable of providing accurate fading statistics. The obtained BER map can be used in many cases, e.g., adaptive modulation and coding (AMC) scheme or power allocation.
