Full Adaptive Target BLER LTE Feature
A method of providing a full adaptive target BLER is described. In one embodiment, a method includes defining a first threshold; defining a second threshold; when voice traffic services are enabled, then setting the second threshold to a predetermined value; and when voice traffic service are not enabled, then setting the second threshold to a value corresponding to a current Signal to Interference and Noise Ratio (SINR) value.
1 . A method for improving user equipment (UE) throughput in a wireless system by performing outer loop link adaptation, comprising:
at a base station scheduler, defining a target block error rate (BLER) threshold;
at the base station scheduler, defining an adaptive target BLER threshold;
when voice traffic services are enabled, then setting the adaptive target BLER threshold to a predetermined value; and
when voice traffic service are not enabled, then setting the adaptive target BLER threshold to a target threshold value according to a current Signal to Interference and Noise Ratio (SINR) value.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the base station scheduler is a gNodeB scheduler.
3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the target threshold value is set to a high value when the current SINR is low.
4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the target threshold value is set to a low value when the current SINR is high.
5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the target threshold value is set to a value that is inversely related to the current SINR.
6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the target threshold value is set to a value based on the upper bound of the function
