1. A method of operating a Long Term Evolution (LTE) communication system, comprising:
- a wireless communication relay determining a number of transmit paths, a number of receive paths, and an azimuth of the wireless communication relay and-transferring the number of transmit paths, the number of receive paths, and the azimuth of the wireless communication relay to an LTE eNodeB;
the LTE eNodeB selecting a modulation coding scheme and a rank index for LTE communication paths that pass through the wireless communication relay based on the number of transmit paths, the number of receive paths, and the azimuth of the wireless communication relay; and
the LTE eNodeB exchanging communications on the LTE communication paths through the wireless communication relay using the selected modulation coding scheme and the rank index.
