Abstract:
This disclosure provides a method, performed in a modulation and coding scheme, MCS module of a network node, for modulation and coding scheme, MCS, selection for a link between the network node and a terminal device in an orthogonal frequency division multiple access, OFDMA, based system. The OFDMA-based system provides a plurality of sub-carriers. The method comprises obtaining channel quality indicators for the plurality of sub-carriers, and estimating a link quality over a bandwidth corresponding to a set of the plurality of sub-carriers corresponding to a sub-channel based on the obtained channel quality indicators. The method comprises selecting a sub-channel out of the plurality of sub-carriers as a new sub-channel to be used for a communication to/from the terminal device based on the determined link quality. The method comprises selecting a MCS for the new sub-channel; and transmitting information to the terminal device, the information comprising an indication of a new sub-channel to the terminal device.

Claim (Index 23):
The network node according to  claim 22 , the MCS module is configured to change sub-channels for a plurality of terminal devices subjected to different interference limitations, and to schedule a first terminal device of the plurality of terminal devices, which is subjected to a relatively higher interference limitation, on a sub-channel that has more\n selecting a MCS for the new sub-channel where the change of MCS is at least partly based on the difference in channel quality on the previously used sub-carriers and the sub-carriers to be used for the next transmission; and transmitting information to the terminal device, the information comprising an indication of a new sub-channel to the terminal device.
