Mobile-unit-assisted modulation management

摘要

The invention discloses a mobile-unit-assisted modulation scheme management, in which a mobile unit ( 100 ) performs signal quality measurements on a communications link ( 410 ), over which data modulated with a first modulation scheme is communicated. The mobile unit ( 100 ) determines a first link quality measure for this first modulation. Furthermore, the mobile unit ( 100 ) estimates second quality measure(s) for currently non-employed modulation scheme(s) based on this first quality measure. Selection information is then generated based on this first quality measure and the second quality estimate(s). This quality measure estimation is performed based on the capabilities and the particular modulation scheme versions of the mobile unit ( 100 ).
