%% 
%% now that we got the spectral efficiency for each value of SNR in dB
%% you should do the following:
%% we look up (manually) into the XLS sheet annexed to 3GPP R1-081483 "Conveying MCS
%% and TB size via PDCCH". Look at the tab "MCS Table", quantize the
%% spectral efficiency based on the CQI (rounding to the lowest value), and get the corresponding MCS
%% scheme (i.e., the MCS index that appears on the same line looking at
%% the MCS table on the right). Note that the quantization of the CQI is
%% coarser than the spectral efficiency reported in the CQI table.
%% Finally, note that there are some discrepancies between the MCS index
%% in R1-081483 and that indicated by the standard: TS 36.213 Table
%% 7.1.7.1-1 says that the MCS index goes from 0 to 31, and 0 appears to
%% be a valid MCS scheme (TB size is not 0) but in R1-081483 the first useful MCS index is 1.
%% Hence to get the value as intended by the standard we need to
%% subtract 1 from the index reported in R1-081483.

%% the resulting values after the manual lookup are reported here:
