We present a self-consistent Monte Carlo model of particle acceleration by relativistic shock waves. The model includes the magnetic field amplification in the shock upstream by cosmic ray driven plasma instabilities. The parameters of the Monte Carlo model are obtained based on PIC calculations. We present the spectra of accelerated particles simulated in the frame of the model.
