Abstract
In some implementations, a device may determine a signal to interference and noise ratio (SINR) value associated with a communication channel between a user equipment and the device. The device may select, based on the SINR value, a channel quality indicator (CQI) value associated with the communication channel or a sounding reference signal (SRS) from the UE to determine a multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) configuration for transmitting data to the UE. The device may determine the MIMO configuration according to the CQI value based on the SINR value being a first value. The device may determine the MIMO configuration according to the SRS based on the SINR value being a second value that is different than the first value. The device may transmit the data to the UE using the MIMO configuration.
