1. A method to control modulation and coding scheme (MCS) used for air-interface communication over an air interface between an access node and one or more user equipment devices (UEs) served by the access node, the method comprising:
detecting that a rate of packet loss on a backhaul connection through which the access node communicates is threshold high; and
responsive to at least detecting that the rate of packet loss on the backhaul connection through which the access node communicates is threshold high, suppressing the MCS used for air-interface communication over the air interface between the access node and one or more UEs served by the access node.
