Abstract:
1. A system for link adaptation in MIMO systems, comprising: a receiver circuit of a linear receiver type or a non-linear receiver type; a plurality of antenna ports configured to couple to a plurality of antennas, respectively, and to receive signals thereat, wherein the receiver circuit is configured to determine a signal to interference and noise ratio (SINR) of one or more received signals; a determiner logic configured to determine a mapping of signal to interference and noise ratio (SINR) to modulation and coding scheme (MCS), wherein the mapping is dependent on the receiver type of the receiver, wherein for at least one SINR the MCS for a linear receiver type is different than the MCS for a non-linear receiver type; and a selection logic configured to select a modulation and coding scheme (MCS).
