Abstract

Described herein are apparatuses, systems and methods for adaptive downlink scheduling and link adaptation. The methods including, at a base station connected to a user equipment (“UE”), determining an initial modulation and coding scheme (“MCS”) for a plurality of subframes to be transmitted to the UE, wherein each MCS relates to a coding rate value for the subframes, determining an MCS pattern for the plurality of subframes based on the initial MCS, wherein an MCS for one of the subframes has a higher coding rate value than the initial MCS, and transmitting the plurality of subframes to the UE according to the MCS pattern.
