There is provided a method of operating a mobile device that is configured to receive multi-antenna downlink transmissions from a network node, the mobile device being configured to perform link adaptation to select a suitable modulation and/or coding scheme, MCS, from a plurality of available modulation and/or coding schemes, MCSs, for the multi-antenna downlink transmission, the method comprising (i) determining whether to use an unrestricted set of MCSs or a restricted set of MCSs when performing link adaptation for the multi-antenna downlink transmission, the unrestricted set of MCSs comprising all of the plurality of available MCSs, the restricted set comprising a subset of the plurality of available MCSs; and (ii) performing the link adaptation to select the MCS for the multi-antenna downlink transmission using the unrestricted or restricted set of MCSs determined in step (i). |
