Abstract:
A wireless access node serves wireless User Equipment (UEs) over Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) layers. The wireless access node wirelessly exchanges user data with some of the wireless UEs. The wireless access node exchanges the user data over backhaul links. The wireless access node determines backhaul link quality. The wireless access node accepts the attachment of a new wireless UE. The wireless access node selects an amount of MIMO layers for the new wireless UE based on the backhaul link quality. The wireless access node wirelessly exchanges user data with the new wireless UE over the selected amount of the MIMO layers.
