MCS represents the modulation and coding schemes scheduled for the physical resources by NG-RAN. The measurements of MCS distribution is a useful metric reflecting the efficiency for PDSCH and PUSCH RBs. It is helpful for operator to optimize the scheduling of physical resources to improve the network efficiency and overall service quality.

The MCS scheduling strategies of MU-MIMO and SU-MIMO are different due to factors such as user pairing and interference. So it is necessary to distinguish statistics and measurements of MCS distribution for MU-MIMO and SU-MIMO.
