For increasing network bandwidth and guaranteeing quality of service in WiMAX, IEEE 802.16 m proposes the multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) technique that offers compatible specifications with the existing IEEE 802.16 family specifications. However, the performance of the IEEE 802.16 MIMO specification is significantly degraded in the high-mobility environment and high communication interference. As a result, a sender easily uses inaccurate modulation and coding scheme (MCS) and improper power allocation for different-priority users having different received signal-to-noise ratios. The system capacity is thus affected significantly. Additionally, the multiuser MIMO systems seldom consider that different-priority users and different-class traffic bring different rewards to the system. This study thus proposes a cross-layer reward-based approach (namely CLR) that consists of three schemes: adaptive modulation and coding determination, cross-layer dynamic channel selection, and reward-based weighting power allocation. The proposed CLR approach achieves accurate channel state information determination, optimal channel selection, and adaptive reward power allocation. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed approach significantly outperforms the other approaches in system reward, system capacity, and the accuracy of the MCS determination.
