Abstract: In this paper, we have investigated the marginal
moment generating function (MMGF) for the Rayleigh
fading channel for the computation of channel capacity for
various adaptive transmission schemes such as: 1) Optimal
simultaneous power and rate adaptation, 2) Optimal rate
adaptation with constant transmit power, 3) Channel
inversion with fixed rate, and 4) Truncated channel
inversion with fixed rate the channel capacity obtained
using this proposed approach for all schemes is compared
with reported literature.

Introduction
Recently, the demand of wireless communication is
growing explosively; therefore it is very important to
determine the capacity limits of fading channels. In general,
the capacity in fading channel is a complex expression in
terms of the channel variation in time and/or frequency
depending upon the transmitter and/or receiver knowledge
of the channel side information. Earlier, the channel
capacity has been studied by various researchers for several
fading environments. Goldsmith and Alouini have
examined the capacity of Rayleigh fading channels under
different adaptive transmission techniques.
Lee has derived an expression for the channel capacity for
Rayleigh fading channel. Gunther has extended the result of
capacity of Rayleigh fading channels under different
diversity scheme. Alouini and Goldsmith have derived the
capacity of Rayleigh fading channels under different
diversities as well as rate adaptation and transmit power
schemes.
In this paper, we have presented a marginal
moment generating function (MMGF) based channel
capacity analysis over Rayleigh fading channel. The main
contribution of this paper consists of the evaluation of
MMGF function and the derived MMGF function is used to
obtain a closed-form mathematical expression for the
channel capacity with optimal rate and power adaptation
(C
OPRA
), Truncated CIFR (C
TCFIR
) approach and MGF is
used to derive expression of the channel inversion with
fixed rate (C
CIFR
), channel capacity under optimal rate
adaptation (C
ORA
) because MGF is a special case of MMGF
by using lower limit equal to zero. MMGF is converted into
MGF as shown in next section. The derived expression is
expressed in terms of well known Meijer G function and
other special functions, which can easily implemented by
using Maple or Mathematica software. The remainder of
the paper is organized as follows Section 2 describes the
MMGF. In Section 3, MMGF is evaluated. The channel
capacity evaluation under different policies is performed In
the Section 4. Numerical results are discussed In the
Section 5. Finally, the Section 6 concludes the work.

3.Marginal MGF based Channel Capacity Analysis:-
The channel capacity has been regarded as the fundamental
information theoretic performance measure to predict the
maximum information rate of a communication system. It
is extensively used as the basic tool for the analysis and
design of new and more efficient techniques to improve the
spectral efficiency of modern wireless communication
systems and to gain insight into how to counteract the
detrimental effects of the multipath fading propagation via
opportunistic and adaptive communication methods. The
main reason for the analysis of the spectral efficiency over
fading channels is represented by the fact that most
framework described in various literature make use of the
so-called PDF based approach of the received SNR has to
be used, which is a task that might be very cumbersome for
most system setups and often require to manage expression
including series. It is also well known that a prior
knowledge of channel state information at the transmitter
may be exploited to improve the channel capacity, such that
in the low SNR regime, the maximum achievable data rate
of a fading channel might be much larger than that of
without fading.
3.1Optimal Simultaneous Power and Rate Adaptation

channel information, then the channel capacity for the
optimal power and rate adaptation (C

3.2 Channel Inversion With Fixed Rate in terms of
MGF.
The channel capacity for channel inversion with fixed rate
(C
CIFR
) requires that the transmitter exploits the channel
state information such that the constant SNR is maintained
at receiver. In this method, fixed transmission rate is used
since the channel after fading inversion appears. The
channel capacity with fixed channel inversion rate can be
expressed as:

3.3 Truncated Channel Inversion in terms of MMGF:
The CIFR suffers from a large capacity penalty relative to
other techniques. The truncated CIFR is a better approach
than that of CIFR, where channel fading is inverted above a
cut-off SNR (a). The channel capacity for a truncated
CIFR is defined as :

4 .Result:-
In this section, we have presented some numerical results
for the channel capacity related to Rayleigh Fading . Fig. 1
shows Outage probability versus Average. As the value of
cut off SNR increases Outage Probability will also
increases. Fig. 2 shows the channel capacity for optimal
power and rate adaptation (C
OPRA
) versus Average SNR for
various cut off (threshold) SNR. As the Average SNR
increases C
OPRA
Will also increases but the increases fixed
point depends on the cut-off SNR. Fig. 3 shows the channel
capacity with truncated channel inversion with fixed rate
(C
TCFIR
) versus cut-off SNR for various values of the
Average SNR. From Fig. 3, it is seen that as the SNR
increase, the cut-off rate also increases. Figures 4 and 5
show the comparison of channel capacity under various
adaptive transmission with the reported literature [16] for
correlated Rayleigh fading channel . The result of the
proposed method is similar with that of [16]. The results of
the proposed method are comparable with that of the [16].

5. Conclusion
In this paper, we have investigated the marginal moment
generating function for Rayleigh fading channel with
marginal MGF is used to evaluate the channel capacity
under different adaptive transmission. Due to their simple
forms, these results gives a useful analytical tool for the
accurate performance evaluation of the various systems.
