We are going to investigate techniques for the optimum allocation of radio spectrum to users demanding a wide range of multimedia services, taking into account the quality of service parameters for each and the distribution and variability of the quality of the radio channel to each user.Several techniques to increase the spectral efficiency of such links are available, including power control, adaptive modulation and coding and dynamic channel allocation. Each technique has been shown to provide significant capacity advantages, however there are difficult problems in using these schemes in a practical situation that remain to be fully addressed: taking account of the differing demands of the different traffic types, the joint optimisation of all three techniques and the requirement for distributed control of the transmit power, coding scheme and channel allocation. The design and evaluation of such schemes is the object of this proposal.This work will complement work progressing on the design of multiple access schemes under a contract recently awarded to the University of York under the European Union Information Societies Technology (IST) scheme, looking at access protocols and higher layer issues for multimedia communications from high-altitude platforms.
