Performance study of adaptive modulation and coding in terrestrial maritime communication systems - 30/08/2025 19:49 EDT
Budget: €30 – €250 EUR
Based on the attached code, a simulation should be developed where, in addition to the path loss due to distance, channel randomness (e.g., Rayleigh fading) is also introduced. The objective is to determine which MCS (Modulation and Coding Scheme) should be applied under the varying channel conditions.
Thesis explanation:
Title: Performance study of adaptive modulation and coding in terrestrial maritime communication systems
University system description:
The channel in terrestrial maritime communications is characterized by the coupling of multiple propagation paths at the receiver, which leads to significant variations in the signal-to-noise ratio, thereby affecting transmission reliability. In this context, the related ITU recommendation for maritime communications suggests the application of link adaptation techniques using adaptive modulation and coding (AMC) to improve throughput under time-varying conditions. The aim of this thesis is to gain an understanding of the VDE-TER protocol, which is used for data exchange in terrestrial maritime communications in the VHF band, and to study and evaluate link adaptation techniques through semi-analytical solutions and simulation.
IMPORTANT! I need explanations in every line of the code: what you do, where you find the information etc.
