OFDMA has been successfully implemented in many wireless communication systems such as LTE, WiMAX and IEEE 802.11n etc. and has also become a promising scheme for the next generation mobile broadband system such as LTE-Advanced. The most widely studied and used Link Error Prediction (LEP) in a OFDMA system is the so called Exponential Effective SNR Mapping (EESM). It has been included in 3GPP and WiMAX forum feasibility studies for both LTE and WiMAX, and has shown to achieve a good performance. In order to facilitate the estimation of the sub- channel performance in a...
