This document discusses the benefits of adaptive modulation in OFDM systems. It explains that in fixed modulation schemes, each subcarrier is individually attenuated under frequency-selective fading channels, resulting in poor performance. Adaptive modulation schemes address this by allowing the modulation rate to change based on instantaneous signal-to-noise ratio. The document presents simulation results showing adaptive modulation outperforms fixed modulation schemes, with average bit error rates approximately 0.203568 for adaptive modulation versus 0.913545 for higher order fixed modulation. It concludes that adaptive modulation improves the bit error rate performance of OFDM systems operating over frequency-selective fading channels.
