文摘We present two adaptive power and bit allocation algorithms for multicarrier systems in a frequency selective fading environment. One algorithm allocstes bit based on maximizing the channel capacity, another allocates bit based on minimizing the bit-error-rate （BER）. Two algorithms allocate power based on minimizing the BER. Results show that the proposed algorithms are more effective than Fischer＇s algorithm at low average signal-to-noise ration （SNR）. This indicates that our algorithms can achieve high spectral efficiency and high communication reliability during bad channel state. Results also denote the bit and power allocation of each algorithm and effects of the number of subcarriers on the BER performance.
