Abstract

A wireless communication system configured for the efficient allocation of resources is provided. The wireless communication system can include a transmit system having a first set of one or more antennas each configured to transmit a data signal over a region to a receive system having a second set of two or more antennas each configured to receive the transmitted data signal. The transmit system can be configured to adjust a transmission parameter of a data signal based on a level of signal fading in the region to sustain a target bit rate, adjust a power and a bit rate at which a data signal is transmitted based on the level of signal fading in the region and select a subset of antennas within the first set of antennas to be used to transmit a data signal based on the level of signal fading in the region.
