Enhanced Algorithm for MMIB in Distributed MIMO System

Link abstraction model based on MMIB (Mean Mutual Information per Bit) has already been applied to 802.16m-based systems. MMIB performs well in SISO system. However, it will make an inaccurate prediction of BLER if directly applied to Distributed MIMO system. In this paper we propose an enhanced algorithm. Simulations show great improvements compared to the original MMIB algorithms.
