Summary: 

Adapting the transmission parameters in response to the channel variations
provides an improvement in the performance. In this thesis a scheme is proposed
for adaptively changing the code rate within a single frame for coded OFDMA
systems via changing the puncturing rate within a single codeword. Two
interleaving methods are proposed, which provide larger interleaving depth. The
performance of the adaptive puncturing technique is investigated using different
adaptive loading schemes. We also propose a novel loading scheme for the SCW
that provides further goodput improvement.
