Riassunto
In a world where mobility is ever increasing, people needs to communicate with each other having timely access to information regardless of the location of the individuals or the information to be exchanged. In this scenario, the demand for advanced wireless communication systems has prompted both the search for a better understanding of fundamental limits in communication theory and their implications for the design of high-efficient wireless systems. Hence, high data transmission rates, wide area coverage, high quality of service (QoS) and efficient use of transmission resources come out as the main design challenges to be met by wireless communication engineers.

Recently, technological advances based on multiple antenna systems (MIMO), multicarrier transmissions (OFDM) and advanced error-correcting code schemes such as bit interleaved coded (BIC) modulation, demonstrated the possibility to increase system performance and to obtain the desirable QoS for the fourth generation of wireless system and beyond. Another promising concept which gained considerable interest in the wireless communication arena is Cognitive Radio. This allows the shared use of the same spectrum bands between licensed (primary) and unlicensed (secondary) users on a non-interference basis.

Due to the mobility of the users, however, radio propagation conditions may change during the transmission, so that different packets experience different channel conditions. Unfortunately, this inexorably plagues the radio resource management, which would need a reliable (and stable) knowledge of Channel State Information (CSI). As a matter of fact, the transmitter has only an Imperfect and/or Outdated CSI, which hinders resource allocation and make the system performance more and more degraded.

The goal of this thesis is to tackle this issue, by designing a novel algorithm for the prediction of radio channel variations in a cognitive packed-based BIC-OFDM transmission system. The key idea is based on the Effective SNR Mapping (ESM) concept, which maps the instantaneous per-subcarrier SNRs into a single value, the effective SNR, which is used at transmitter side to choose the optimal radio resource allocation. The proposed performance prediction algorithm has been then applied as the core of a novel link resource allocation (LRA) strategy for a BIC-OFDM and Cognitive BIC-OFDM systems.
Extensive numerical results demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms when subject to radio channel variations. Finally, the LRA algorithm has also been applied to a MIMO-SVD BIC-OFDM scheme, in order to obtain a preliminary valuation of its effectiveness.
