NETWORK NODE, USER EQUIPMENT AND METHODS FOR OBTAINING A MODULATION AND CODING SCHEME

摘要

A method in a user equipment for obtaining a Modulation and Coding Scheme, MCS is provided. The MCS is to be used for a transmission between the user equipment and any one or more out of the network node or a second network node. The user equipment has knowledge about a modulation and coding index table. The user equipment receives (201) one or more offset values from the network node. The user equipment obtains (205) an MCS indicator related to said transmission. The user equipment then obtains (206) the MCS from the modulation and coding index table based on the MCS indicator and the one or more offset values.
