Claim:
1. A method for performing link adaptation in a wireless communication system that includes a base station and at least one wireless device comprising: receiving at the base station a signal from the wireless device that is indicative of and responsive to a specific subframe type that was previously transmitted from the base station to the wireless device, wherein the specific subframe type is selected from one or more special subframes, wherein the special subframes serve as switching points between DL to UL transmission; performing subframe-type-specific block error rate (BLER) filtering based at least on the specific subframe type; performing subframe-type-specific outer-loop link adaptation (LA) based at least on the subframe-type-specific BLER filtering; and transmitting from the base station to the wireless device subframe-type-specific scheduling and modulation and coding scheme (MCS) information based at least on the subframe-type-specific outer-loop LA.
