Model of microwave link channel with adaptive modulation under the fading conditions

Abstract

Higher throughput requirements of the radio access network (RAN) of 5th generation (5G) network lead in turn to even more higher capacity require-ments of wireless backhaul segment. Current research proposes a model of microwave link channel with adaptive modulation under the fading condi-tions. This model allows to estimate maximum possible throughput with re-quired bit error probability (BEP) for channel with adaptive modulation un-der fading conditions. The contribution of the current research is the consid-eration of the 5G requirements on higher throughput and fading conditions in microwave link. Whereby this fading is assumed as a process with Rice distribution.
