| Summary: | Wireless communication is a fundamental aspect of everyday life. Modern mobile applications such as the Internet of Things (IoT), high-resolution video streaming, connected cars, smart cities, and telehealth care have a universal presence these days. The growth in these applications will continue to require higher data rates, large bandwidth, increased capacity, low latency and high throughput. As the Radio Frequency (RF) spectrum is a limited resource, considerable effort has been expended in the search for more efficient techniques for transmitting data through limited bandwidth resources. The key component of meeting this requirement is employing an efficient adaptive modulation scheme. Adaptive M-ary Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (M-QAM) techniques have been developed to deliver better Bit Error Rate (BER) performance and higher Spectral Efficiency (SE) by taking advantage of the time-varying nature of wireless fading channels. This work further enhances the adaptive M-QAM by employing an efficient Three-Dimensional (3D) adaptive modulation scheme to significantly increase the BER and SE of the wireless networks. This paper introduces a novel 3D version of adaptive M-QAM that significantly improves the BER performance and, more importantly, doubles the SE. This results in also doubling the network capacity and throughput. Simulation results show that the SE is doubled, and the gain is increased by <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$6\:dB$ </tex-math></inline-formula> in BER versus Energy per Bit to Noise ratio <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$Eb/No$ </tex-math></inline-formula> curves. This study proposes that this improvement can be further enhanced by transmitting and receiving through more than two planes, using more than two cross- polarized antennas. |
