Bit-power loading algorithms based on Effective SINR Mapping techniques

Bit-Power Loading (BPL) algorithms are proposed based on Effective SINR Mapping (ESM) techniques. The ESM techniques used are the Exponential ESM (EESM) as well as the Mean Mutual Information per Bit (MMIB). The algorithms are based on proper usage and modifications of algorithms already proposed in the literature, applied to ESM compatible link-level performance models. The performance gain when using the proposed algorithms is assessed for an IEEE 802.16 OFDM system. Keywords-component; Bit Loading, Power loading, OFDM, ESM
