Link Adaptation Using Joint-Thompson Sampling

The choice of Modulation and Coding (MCS) type for a particular channel condition is made through link adaptation (LA) algorithms that operate at the MAC layer. These algorithms rely on the ACK/NACK statistics and the channel quality index (CQI) feedback. Several existing works model LA as a multi-armed bandit (MAB) problem across cellular and Wi-Fi links. In the MAB formulation, each available MCS is a Bernoulli arm parameterized by its transmission success probability, and the goal is to…
