The simulation results show that the probability of selecting a high Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) level increased as the Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) improved. Furthermore, the D-STTD communication system with AMC scheme provided a more uniform throughput distribution throughout the entire SNR range compared to its counterpart which did not apply AMC scheme. Also, the maximum throughput of the D-STTD communication system with AMC scheme was twice that of a conventional AMC communication system or a Space Time Transmit Diversity (STTD) communication system with AMC scheme. %K AMC %K MCS Level %K STTD %K D-STTD %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=594
