Method and apparatus for selecting a modulation coding scheme

摘要

An indication of modulation constrained capacity of a multiple input multiple output (MIMO) communication channel is determined. The indication of modulation constrained capacity corresponds to one modulation scheme from a plurality of modulation schemes. The indication of modulation constrained capacity corresponding to the one modulation scheme is compared to a threshold corresponding to the one modulation scheme. A modulation scheme is selected from the plurality of modulation schemes based on the comparison of the indication of modulation constrained capacity to the threshold.
