Summary: 
In this letter, adaptive modulation and coding (AMC) is combined with multiple input multiple output (MIMO) multiplexing to improve the throughput performance of AMC. In addition, a system that adopts selection transmit diversity (STD) in the AMC-MIMO multiplexing system, AMC-STD-MIMO multiplexing system, is proposed. STD in our simulation selects 2 transmission antennas from 4 antennas and AMC-MIMO multiplexing process operates with the selected antennas. The computer simulation is performed in a flat Rayleigh fading channel. The results show that the proposed AMC-STD-MIMO multiplexing system achieves the SNR gain of 4.0 dB, compared to the AMC-MIMO multiplexing system at 3 Mbps throughput.
