Abstract
In this paper, we construct a finite-state Markov chain model for a Rayleigh fading channel by partitioning the range of the received signal envelope into K intervals. Using a simulation of the classic two-ray Rayleigh fading model, a Markov transition probability matrix is obtained. Using this matrix to predict the channel state, we introduce an adaptive forward error correction (FEC) coding scheme. Simulation results are presented to show that the adaptive FEC coding scheme significantly improves the performance of a wireless communication system.
