Abstract
In a data communications system a scheduler device and multiple client devices communicate with each other over a data communications network. The scheduler device assigns a portion of the system's client devices one or more data rate multiplier values that individually affect a maximum throughput associated with their respectively assigned modulation and coding scheme (MCS). The data rate multiplier value assignment is selected by the scheduler device based on a type MCS or a signal interference plus noise ratio (SINR) value. The assigned data rate multiplier values may result in a hybrid throughput scheduling scenario amongst the client devices.
