1. A user equipment (UE), comprising:
a memory; and
one or more processors configured to, when executing instructions stored in the memory, cause the UE to:
determine an energy optimal modulation and coding scheme (MCS) for receiving a downlink (DL) transmission from a base station, where a total energy consumed by the UE when receiving the DL transmission at the energy optimal MCS is lower than an energy consumed by the UE when receiving the DL transmission at a maximum available data transfer rate;
communicate the energy optimal MCS to the base station; and
receive, from the base station, the DL transmission at an energy optimal data transfer rate that is based on the energy optimal MCS.
