Embodiment Construction

[0027] Briefly described, methods and apparatus are provided for estimating link adaptation margins by using one or more error distributions, such as signal-to-interference-and-noise ratio (SINR) estimation error distributions. An appropriate link adaptation margin may alternatively be derived from one or more error distributions based on desired quality targets. One or more of the error distributions and hence the estimated link adaptation margin can be made frequency selective. The link adaptation margin can eg be derived from the estimated error distribution of SINR, or alternatively from the estimated error distribution of received signal strength and interference.

[0028] Some definitions:

[0029] Within this document, some expressions will be used when discussing the process of estimating link adaptation margin, some of which will be briefly defined here.

[0030] The expressions "backoff" and "backoff margin" are used to refer to safety margins, such as link adaptat...

Abstract

A method and an apparatus in a network entity for supporting link adaptation in a wireless communication system. The method comprises obtaining 204 one or more predicted parameters related to the quality of a radio link. The method further comprises measuring 206 one or more actual parameters, corresponding to the one or more predicted parameters. The method further comprises deriving 208 one or more error distributions based on the difference between the predicted and actual one or more parameters, from which error distributions a link adaptation margin estimate is derived, based on a predetermined radio link quality target. The link adaptation margin estimate is then used for supporting link adaptation for the radio link.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method and a device in a wireless communication system, in particular to the support of link adaptation. Background technique [0002] A common practice to achieve spectral efficiency in today's radio communication systems is to use Adaptive Modulation and Coding (AMC). When applying AMC in a radio communication system, the modulation and coding of the data to be transmitted is selected to match the current channel quality in order to achieve high system throughput and low latency. For example, in LTE AMC is used both in the uplink (UL) and downlink (DL). [0003] In LTE, the instantaneous downlink channel quality is estimated by the mobile terminal based on measurements performed on reference signals transmitted from the base station. From the measurements, a channel quality report such as a channel quality indicator (CQI) is derived and transmitted in uplink to the base station. The modulation order and code rate...
