Abstract
The present disclosure provides a method (100) in a network device for link adaptation. The method (100) includes: estimating (110) a probability distribution of downlink Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio, SINR, for a terminal device based at least on one or more Acknowledgement, ACK, or Negative Acknowledgement, NACK, messages from the terminal device; and determining (120) a Modulation and Coding Scheme, MCS, for downlink transmission to the terminal device based on the estimated probability distribution of downlink SINR.

A method in a network device for link adaptation, comprising:
- estimating a probability distribution of downlink Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR) for a terminal device based at least on one or more Acknowledgement (ACK) or Negative Acknowledgement (NACK) messages from the terminal device;
- and
- determining a Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) for downlink transmission to the terminal device based on the estimated probability distribution of downlink SINR.
A network device, comprising a transceiver, a processor and a memory, the memory comprising instructions executable by the processor whereby the network device is operative to:
- estimate a probability distribution of downlink Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR) for a terminal device based at least on one or more Acknowledgement (ACK) or Negative Acknowledgement (NACK) messages from the terminal device;
- and
- determine a Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) for downlink transmission to the terminal device based on the estimated probability distribution of downlink SINR.
A computer readable storage medium having computer program instructions stored thereon, the computer program instructions being configured to, when executed by a processor in a network device, cause the network device to:
- estimate a probability distribution of downlink Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR) for a terminal device based at least on one or more Acknowledgement (ACK) or Negative Acknowledgement (NACK) messages from the terminal device;
- and
- determine a Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) for downlink transmission to the terminal device based on the estimated probability distribution of downlink SINR.
