Abstract

As mobile communication networks develop from generation to generation, spectral efficiency is still a crucial component that needs to be enhanced and optimized. The upcoming technologies of the fifth generation (5G) should take spectral efficiency into account. With proper resource utilization, the 5G new radio will still have the challenges of signal interference because as the data capacity increases the latency might be high. This is a trade-off which a good algorithm is meant to suppress. The major challenge in cellular systems is to improve spectral efficiency in very tough channel error conditions. This is because in a poor tough channel error condition, there are challenges in terms of connectivity, due to poor signal quality, low network capacity and efficiency, network instability, and an increase in drop calls. The proposed algorithm, Channel Quality Indicator-Maximum Likelihood Detection (CQI-MLD) shows how to evaluate interference on tough channel error conditions concerning Channel State Information (CSI) error variance. The system model was designed and implemented on MATLAB 2024a environment. The data were generated from MATLAB 2024a communication toolbox and program codes were written on MATLAB visual environment. The results were analyzed and simulated. The proposed algorithm measures the channel quality by the user equipment and matches this information with a channel quality indicator within a specified SNR interval. The channel parameters change as the proposed algorithm reacts to the physical channel condition. CQI-MLD-Spatial Filtering models were implemented and evaluated in MATLAB 2024a environment. The performance of the CQI-MLD-Spatial model was compared with three existing algorithms, namely OFDM, Link Adaptation, and High Order Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) algorithms. The result demonstrates that the CQI-MLD model can successfully sustain an improved Spectrum Efficiency (SE) even in a poor SNR condition. The simulated graph shows that CQI-MLD gives higher SE than the other three existing algorithms. For instance, at the SNR of 10 dB, a spectral efficiency (SE) of about 30 bits/s/HZ is obtained for the CQI-MLD model, whereas the SE obtained for the other existing algorithms is below 9 bits/s/Hz at the same SNR of 10 dB. This result validates the performance of the CQI-MLD model to be more spectrum efficient than the existing algorithms.
