OUTER LOOP LINK ADAPTATION WITH PREDICTION OF INTERFERENCES GENERATED BY CSI-RS

摘要

A base station that implements an improved link adaptation process that takes into account the fact that a certain reference signal (e.g., CSI-RS) may be seen as interference by certain wireless communication devices (WCDs). Accordingly, when the base station schedules a data transmission for the WCD to occur in a particular ΤΉ and the base station is scheduled to transmit the CSI-RS during the same TTI, the base station will tend to select a more robust MCS for the data transmission to the WCD to counter effect the possible interference caused by the CSI-RS.
