Operation mode adaptation based on hardware and channel condition constraints

摘要

A system and method for operation mode adaptation is operable by a network entity that determines channel conditions between the network entity and a second network entity. The network entity determines its hardware constraints and power consumption requirements. The network entity balances data throughput with power consumption for the network entity by selecting a hardware allocation, based at least in part on the channel conditions, the hardware constraints, and the power consumption requirements. In some implementations, the network entity balances data throughput with power consumption for the network entity by selecting an operation mode, based at least in part on the channel conditions, the hardware constraints, and the power consumption requirements.

1. A method of wireless communication operable by a network entity, comprising:
determining a channel rank for channel conditions between the network entity and a second network entity, the channel rank being based on a number of data streams that can be supported by the channel; determining hardware constraints for the network entity; determining power consumption requirements for the network entity; and balancing data throughput with power consumption for the network entity by selecting a hardware allocation, based at least in part on the channel rank conditions, the hardware constraints, and the power consumption requirements.
