Abstract
Example embodiments are directed to a method of determining an uplink target signal-to-interference-and-noise ratio (SINR). In one embodiment, the method includes determining the uplink target SINR for a user equipment (UE) based on a downlink signal-to-interference ratio (SIR). The downlink SIR is determined based on a channel quality indication (CQI) index received from the user equipment.
