Abstract  Abstract

A method and apparatus for choosing a modulation and coding rate in a MU-MIMO communication system is provided herein. During operation a node will determine the MCR to feed back to the base even though the mobile does not know which of the possible interferers (if any) will be using the same time/frequency resources as the mobile. This takes place via the mobile node calculating best antenna weights (codebook choice) for each group of subcarriers that can be potentially used by the mobile. Transmit weights v for each interferer are then determined and the weights are utilized to determine a best modulation and coding rate for the mobile.
