Abstract
A method of inducing increased throughput to a telecommunication device, in which the telecommunication device sets a rank indicator (RI) based on a number of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) data streams received and decoded from a base station, determines an error rate of the decoded MIMO data streams, and increases the RI when it is less than a maximum RI and the error rate is less than an RI increase threshold. The RI is reported from the telecommunication device to the base station, which uses the increased RI to increase the number of MIMO data streams it sends to the telecommunication device.
