    WO 2013/123961 PCT/EP2012/052828 1 DESCRIPTION Title 5 Controlling a modulation and coding scheme for a transmission between a base station and a user equipment 10 Field of invention The present invention relates to the field of cellular networks, especially to an evolution of LTE networks, and in particular to networks comprising LTE networks and evolved LTE networks. 15 Art Background There have been further developments for LTE, for instance relating to a Beyond 4G 20 (B4G) radio system which is assumed to be commercially available in 2020. It might how ever also be introduced in an evolution of LTE at any date within any new release. LTE provides a peak bit rate of 30 bps/Hz by using 64QAM modulation and 8x8 MIMO transmission. As a result, B4G may require a higher order modulation, for instance 25 256QAM, than 64QAM in order to meet future requirements. Higher order modulations may be relevant for example in relay backhaul due to better channel quality and better radio frequency (RF) properties which are more easily feasible for relays than for user equipments (UEs) or for isolated indoor cells where the UEs are close by and therefore both having a good link to the access point and no or very little interference from other 30 access points due to attenuation by the walls. The modulation order determination of LTE Release 10 is described in TS 36.213 V10.3, chapter 7.1.7 and CQI definition in chapter 7.2.3. In LTE (and LTE-Advanced), theoretical spectral efficiency is restricted by 64QAM modulation. An improved spectral efficiency 35 may be gained with extension to 256QAM.
    WO 2013/123961 PCT/EP2012/052828 2 In the LTE standard, there is defined a MCS (modulation and coding scheme) index and modulation table and CQI (channel quality indicator) table. These are used for determining and selecting appropriate modulation and coding schemes. The current tables support up to 64QAM. The problem is how to introduce a 256QAM extension or any other higher or 5 der modulation extension for LTE while maintaining backward compatibility and avoiding too much complexity. There may be a need for an improved and flexible system and method being adapted to allow an extension to a higher order modulation while remaining backward compatible for 10 LTE. In particular it is desirable to maintain signaling formats in particular utilize the same number of bits as otherwise different encoding schemes need to be used and potentially so called blind decoding has to be applied. 15 Summary of the Invention This need may be met by the subject matter according to the independent claims. Advan tageous embodiments of the present invention are described by the dependent claims. 20 According to a first aspect of the invention there is provided a method for controlling a modulation and coding scheme for a transmission between a base station and a user equipment, wherein the modulation and coding scheme is selectable based on a first modulation and coding scheme table comprising entries corresponding to a plurality of modulation and coding schemes with a first maximum modulation order or based on a 25 second modulation and coding scheme table comprising entries corresponding to a plu rality of modulation and coding schemes with a second maximum modulation order. The method comprises selecting, by the base station, the first modulation and coding scheme table or the second modulation and coding scheme table, and controlling, by the base station, the modulation and coding scheme for the transmission between the base station 30 and the user equipment based on the selected modulation and coding scheme table. This aspect of the invention is based on the idea to extend the modulation and coding scheme table to a higher order modulation while remaining backward compatible. The first table may support for instance up to 64QAM (quadrature amplitude modulation) and the 35 second table may support for instance up to 256QAM, or any other higher order modula tion extension. It should be noted that although 256QAM is explicitly mentioned herein, any other higher modulation order than that used for the first table may be used, for in- WO 2013/123961 PCT/EP2012/052828 3 stance also 128QAM or in general a higher modulation and coding scheme (MCS) which may be characterized by either modulation order or coding scheme of both. The idea of this method is to introduce a higher order modulation while still supporting a 5 modulation and coding scheme (MCS) table being introduced for a lower modulation or der. The term "modulation order" in this context may be determined by the number of the different symbols that can be transmitted using it. In general MCS also considers different 10 code rates and thus indicates the average number of payload bits that can be transmitted per symbol. The first maximum modulation order and the second maximum modulation order may be the same or may be different. The term "modulation and coding scheme table" may refer to the MCS table being defined 15 in LTE and being used for determining and selecting appropriate modulation and coding schemes. The second table may be an extended MCS table being based on the MCS as defined in LTE but comprising entries corresponding to a higher order modulation. For instance, the backward compatibility may be ensured by having a first table exactly as it is currently defined in the LTE standard. 20 The first and the second table may be different in some respects. For instance, one table may be biased more towards low MCS and the second towards high MCS values. For example, one table may have more MCS values below a certain threshold MCS. Also the density of MCS values at lower MCS may be higher in one table or the center of gravity or 25 average of the MCS values may be lower in one table. In one embodiment, one table is a mirror image of the other, for instance being mirrored at the middle MCS. The term "base station" in this context may denote any kind of physical entity being able to communicate with a user equipment or any other network device by selecting a modula 30 tion and coding scheme from such a MCS table. A base station in this context may be any kind of network device providing the required functionality for the method, it may also be a transceiver node in communication with a centralized entity. The base station may be for example a NodeB or eNB. 35 The base station may either inform the UE explicitly about a change of the used MCS ta ble or may inform and select the MCS table implicitly as part of the capability enquiry pro cedure.
    WO 2013/123961 PCT/EP2012/052828 4 According to an embodiment of the invention, the second maximum modulation order is higher than the first maximum modulation order. In particular, the first maximum modula tion order corresponds to 64QAM and the second maximum modulation order corre 5 sponds to 256QAM. It should be noted that also other modulation orders may be used, for instance 128QAM. Furthermore, a few high MCSs may be included in the first table to be able to quickly react 10 in case the channel gets suddenly better. According to a further embodiment of the invention, the maximum modulation order may correspond to the highest modulation and coding scheme (MCS). Further, the highest modulation and coding scheme may be the same for both tables. 15 According to a further embodiment of the invention, the method further comprises deter mining, by the base station, actual channel conditions of a radio transmission channel being used for the transmission between the base station and the user equipment, deter mining, by the base station, a maximum supported modulation order based on the deter 2 0 mined actual channel conditions, and selecting, by the base station, the first modulation and coding scheme table or the second modulation and coding scheme table based on a comparison of the maximum supported modulation order with the first maximum modula tion order and the second maximum modulation order. 25 If the actual channel conditions do not support the higher order modulation or if the user equipment (UE) is not able to support the higher order modulation, the base station may perform the modulation and coding for the transmission based on the first table. If the ac tual channel conditions are good enough for the higher order modulation and if the UE supports the higher order modulation, the base station may perform the modulation and 30 coding based on the second table supporting a higher order modulation, for instance up to 256QAM. According to a further embodiment of the invention, the method further comprises trans mitting information to the user equipment being indicative for the selected modulation and 35 coding scheme table.
    WO 2013/123961 PCT/EP2012/052828 5 The base station may provide a signal to the UE comprising information about the se lected and used MCS table. The UE may then perform, based on this information, further actions, like CQI reports. 5 According to a further embodiment of the invention, transmitting information to the user equipment is based on radio resource control signalling. By using a common signalling, the UE may be easily informed about the selected MCS table. This information may also be included in any information signal comprising informa 10 tion for the UE in view of any other resource control. According to a further embodiment of the invention, transmitting information to the user equipment is based on implicit signalling. 15 This may refer to the case, wherein the UE may receive information from the base station and may determine based on this information the selected MCS table. This may be the case for instance as part of the capability enquiry procedure which also makes the capa bility available to the eNB. During this kind of set up procedure, where the eNB determines capabilities of the UE, the tables may be switched and the UE may be informed implicitly 2 0 without specific signalling. According to a further embodiment of the invention, the method further comprises receiv ing confirmation information from the user equipment being indicative for a performed change of the selected modulation and coding scheme table. 25 The base station may carry out the change from one table to the selected MCS table after receiving the confirmation signal from the UE. The confirmation signal may thus be indica tive for a final change of the MCS tables to be carried out by the base station. 30 According to a further embodiment of the invention, the first modulation and coding scheme table and the second modulation and coding scheme table each comprise a common subset of equal entries being arranged at same positions within the first modula tion and coding scheme table and the second modulation and coding scheme table. In particular, the method further comprises after transmitting the information to the user 35 equipment being indicative for the selected modulation and coding scheme table and be fore receiving the confirmation information from the user equipment, controlling the mod ulation and coding scheme for the transmission between the base station and the user WO 2013/123961 PCT/EP2012/052828 6 equipment based on the selected modulation and coding scheme table based on the common subset of entries. By using common entries in both MCS tables, the base station may use the common en 5 tries as long as there is no confirmation signal from the UE. This may provide the advan tage that there is no misunderstanding and wrong modulation and coding as both parts (base station and UE) are using the same modulation and coding scheme (although they may possibly use different tables). 10 According to a further embodiment of the invention, controlling an initial transmission be tween the base station and the user equipment is based on the first modulation and cod ing scheme table. The base station and the UE may use the MCS table having the lower maximum modula 15 tion order at the start of each communication. This may provide the advantage that each communication starts with the same table and afterwards the base station may decide whether to change the MCS table or not. The change may then be performed based on the actual channel conditions if the UE can support the MCS table supporting the higher order modulation. 20 According to a further embodiment of the invention, the bits of carrying a modulation and coding scheme index are the same for the first modulation and coding scheme table and for the second modulation and coding scheme table. 25 Thus, it may be ensured that there is a backward compatibility without having to amend the MCS tables in their existing form nor the coding and transmission mechanisms that are employed to convey the selection out of that table. In a more specific embodiment, the tables may have the same size. In particular, parts of the first MCS table and the second MCS table are equal, providing common entries as explained above. Entries of the first 30 MCS table relating to very low modulation orders may be exchanged (redefined) for the second MCS table and may comprise the higher order modulations. According to a further embodiment of the invention, the actual channel conditions are de termined based on a channel quality indicator being selectable based on a first channel 35 quality indicator table supporting the first maximum modulation order or based on a second channel quality indicator table supporting the second maximum modulation order, the method comprising receiving, by the base station, a channel quality indicator from the WO 2013/123961 PCT/EP2012/052828 7 user equipment, and determining, by the base station, the actual channel conditions of the radio transmission channel being used for the transmission between the base station and the user equipment based on the received channel quality indicator. 5 Like the MCS tables, also the CQI tables may be selected based on the selection of the MCS tables. If there is a switch or change from the first MCS table to the second MCS table, there may also be change from the first CQI table to the second CQI table. The UE may thus determine the CQI based on a table which corresponds to the selected MCS table. 10 According to a further embodiment of the invention, the method further comprises select ing, by the base station, the first channel quality indicator table or the second channel quality indicator table based on the selected modulation and coding scheme table, and transmitting information to the user equipment being indicative for the selected channel 15 quality indicator table. The information of the selected CQI table may be provided to the UE from the base sta tion. The information may also be provided implicitly by informing the user equipment of the selected MCS table. 20 According to a further embodiment of the invention, the first channel quality indicator table and the second channel quality indicator table each comprise a common subset of equal entries being arranged at same positions within the first channel quality indicator table and the second channel quality indicator table. 25 Like the MCS tables, also the CQI tables may comprise a common subset. Thus, it may be ensured that, during switching, there are no misunderstandings between the UE and the base station. 30 According to a second aspect of the invention, there is provided a base station for control ling a modulation and coding scheme for a transmission between the base station and a user equipment, wherein the modulation and coding scheme is selectable based on a first modulation and coding scheme table comprising entries corresponding to a plurality of modulation and coding schemes with a first maximum modulation order or based on a 35 second modulation and coding scheme table comprising entries corresponding to a plu rality of modulation and coding schemes with a second maximum modulation order. The base station comprises a selection unit being adapted to select the first modulation and WO 2013/123961 PCT/EP2012/052828 8 coding scheme table or the second modulation and coding scheme table, and a control unit being adapted to control the modulation and coding scheme for the transmission be tween the base station and the user equipment based on the selected modulation and coding scheme table. 5 The base station may be any type of access point or point of attachment, which is capable of providing a wireless access to a cellular network system. Thereby, the wireless access may be provided for a user equipment or for any other network element, which is capable of communicating in a wireless manner. The base station may be a NodeB, eNB, home 10 NodeB or HeNB, or any other kind of access point or also a multihop node or relay. The base station may in particular be used for a B4G, LTE or 3GPP cell and communication. The base station may comprise a receiving unit, for example a receiver as known by a skilled person. The base station may also comprise a transmitting or sending unit, for ex 15 ample a transmitter. The receiver and the transmitter may be implemented as one single unit, for example as a transceiver. The transceiver or the receiving unit and the sending unit may be adapted to communicate with the user equipment via an antenna. The base station further comprises a selection unit and a control unit. The selection unit 20 and the control unit may be implemented as single units or may be implemented for ex ample as part of a standard control unit, like a CPU or a microcontroller. In one embodiment, the base station may further comprise a determination unit being adapted to determine actual channel conditions of a radio transmission channel being 25 used for the transmission between the base station and the user equipment, and being adapted to determine a maximum supported modulation order based on the determined actual channel conditions. The selection unit may be adapted to select the first modulation and coding scheme table or the second modulation and coding scheme table based on a comparison of the maximum supported modulation order with the first maximum modula 30 tion order and the second maximum modulation order. The determination unit may be implemented as a single unit or may be implemented for example as part of a standard control unit, like a CPU or a microcontroller. 35 The user equipment (UE) may be any type of communication end device, which is capable of connecting with the described base station. The UE may be in particular a cellular mo- WO 2013/123961 PCT/EP2012/052828 9 bile phone, a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), a notebook computer, a printer and/or any other movable communication device. The user equipment may comprise a receiving unit or receiver which is adapted for receiv 5 ing signals from the base station. The user equipment may comprise a transmitting unit for transmitting signals. The transmitting unit may be a transmitter as known by a skilled per son. The receiver and the transmitting unit may be implemented as one single unit, for example as a transceiver. The transceiver or the receiver and the transmitting unit may be adapted to communicate with the base station via an antenna. 10 The user equipment may further comprise a control unit for controlling and configuring the transmission based on information received from the base station being indicative for a selected MCS table. The control unit may be implemented as a single unit or may be im plemented for example as part of a standard control unit, like a CPU or a microcontroller. 15 According to a third aspect of the invention, there is provided a cellular network system.

It has to be pointed out that of course any combination of features relating to different aspects of the herein dis 20 closed subject matter is also possible. In particular, some embodiments have been de scribed with reference to apparatus type embodiments whereas other embodiments have been described with reference to method type embodiments.

The aspects and embodiments defined above and further aspects and embodiments of 30 the present invention are apparent from the examples to be described hereinafter and are explained with reference to the drawings, but to which the invention is not limited. Brief Description of the Drawing 35 Figure 1 shows a cellular network system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
    WO 2013/123961 PCT/EP2012/052828 11 Figure 2 shows a simulation of spectral efficiency for 64QAM and 256QAM. Figure 3 shows a simulation of spectral efficiency for 4x4 MIMO and 2x2 MIMO, each for 5 64QAM and 256QAM. Figure 4 shows a base station and a user equipment within a cellular network system ac cording to an exemplary embodiment of the invention. 10 It is noted that in different figures, similar or identical elements are provided with the same reference signs. Detailed Description 15 In the following, embodiments of the herein disclosed subject matter are illustrated with reference to the drawings and reference to aspects of current standards, such as LTE, and their further developments. However, such reference to current standards is only ex emplary and should not be considered as limiting the scope of the claims. 20 Figure 1 shows a cellular network system 100. A user equipment 102 is served by a first cell 103 of the cellular network system. The first cell is assigned to a base station 101. The transmission and communication between the base station and the user equipment is 25 controlled based on a modulation and coding scheme. The modulation and coding scheme is selectable based on a first modulation and coding scheme table comprising entries corresponding to a plurality of modulation and coding schemes with a first maxi mum modulation order or based on a second modulation and coding scheme table com prising entries corresponding to a plurality of modulation and coding schemes with a 30 second maximum modulation order. In one embodiment, the second maximum modulation order is higher (for instance up to 256QAM) than the first maximum modulation order (for instance up to 64QAM). The base station may determine actual channel conditions of the radio transmission chan 35 nel being used for the transmission between the base station and the user equipment. Then, the base station may determine a maximum supported modulation order based on the determined actual channel conditions and eventually based on information from the WO 2013/123961 PCT/EP2012/052828 12 user equipment which modulation order can be supported by the user equipment. The base station then selects the first modulation and coding scheme table or the second modulation and coding scheme table based on a comparison of the maximum supported modulation order with the first maximum modulation order and the second maximum 5 modulation order. Thus, the modulation and coding scheme (MCS) for the transmission between the base station and the user equipment is controlled based on the selected modulation and coding scheme table. The base station may also select the table based on any other information, for instance 10 based on predefined selection criteria. In LTE (and LTE-Advanced), theoretical spectral efficiency is restricted by 64QAM mod ulation. Figure 2 presents the simulated LTE-Advanced throughput with 8x8-MIMO and modulation restricted to 64QAM (reference number 201) (coding rate 8/9) in 1-tap Ray 15 leigh channel with no spatial correlation. Spectral efficiency that would be gained with ex tension to 256QAM is also plotted to Figure 2 for comparison (reference number 202). It can be seen that extension to 256QAM starts to have effect around 25dB SNR range. In these figures the average SINR is plotted against the throughput. Even if the average is below the area whether 256QAM provides gain, due to fading the channel conditions may 20 still be good for some time. Throughput in LTE is restricted by MCS also in a more practical scenario (for example in case of relay backhaul) where there is high spatial channel correlation that restricts the usage of large ranks. This is illustrated in the Figure 3 where spectral efficiencies for 2x2 25 and 4x4 MIMO schemes with adaptive rank and MCS selections in high spatial correlation scenario are plotted as a function of average signal-to-noise ratio. For both 2x2 and 4x4 schemes two curves are presented, in one of which MCS is restricted to 64QAM (2x2: 304, 4x4: 302) and another one with MCS set extension to 256QAM (2x2: 303, 4x4: 301). It can be seen that extension to 256QAM increases the throughput already from around 30 10dB SNR range in these scenarios. That means the throughput is already compromised well below the maximum throughput that is possible with 64QAM. The problem is how to introduce 256QAM for LTE to maintain backward compatibility and avoid too much complexity. 256QAM addition might need to be done to both MCS index 35 and modulation table and CQI table defined in LTE standard.
    WO 2013/123961 PCT/EP2012/052828 13 In Release 10, a new DCI format 2c was added in order to support close loop MIMO with up to 8 layers. One straightforward solution would be to define new DCI format for 256QAM (and use more than 5 bits for the modulation and coding scheme field in the DCI). This is no desirable solution because it doubles the number of DCI formats resulting 5 in a significant complexity increment. In UMTS there was also an extension form 16 QAM to 64 QAM by adding one extra signalling bit [R1-070635 R1-070570]. The extra bit can either be provided by defining an new DCI format at the expense of worse decoding performance and more blind decodings or at lest more optional DCI sizes. Or the bit is "stolen" from some other signaling, limiting the possibilities there, e.g. in HSDPA the bit is 10 stolen from the code allocation table which only supports half as many entries if 64QAM is enabled. Another possible solution would be to take the existing MCS/CQI index table as a basis and change the usage of it so that only a subset of the current MCS values would be 15 used, e.g. drop every third to make room for the additional 256QAM values. This causes a coarser adaptation of the channel conditions and is therefore undesirable. In the following, this method is called sub-sampling. The idea of the herein described method is to define a new procedure which allows to use 20 256QAM in good channel conditions using the existing DCI formats. For this purpose, ad ditional new MCS and CQI index tables with extension to 256QAM (Qm=8) may be gener ated. The new tables have the same size as the usual ones. Decision whether original index table or the table with 256QAM extension is used is either determined by the base station (or eNB) and the switching is indicated to the UE with a signalling message or de 25 cided in implicit way. In one embodiment, there is a common index area common for both the original table and the table with 256QAM extension where MCS/CQI index, modulation order and TBS index are identical and are also in identical positions in both tables. Only this common MCS in 30 dex area might be used while switching the tables to avoid ambiguities. In one embodiment, the MCS/CQI index table with 256QAM extension is formed so that room for the TB (transport block) sizes related to 256QAM is taken from originally low TB sizes. Furthermore, there may be a few common modulation / TB sizes in the common 35 MCS index area from the low range of the modulation set for such situations where ex tended 256QAM table is in use and channel conditions drop quickly. These indexes can be sub-sampled from the low TBS area.
    WO 2013/123961 PCT/EP2012/052828 14 A two step switching procedure may be provided for CQI index table switching in order to make sure the UE is aware of the switching and does not use ambiguous table entries during switching. The MCS table may already be switched to the 256QAM version. 5 There could be also a few common modulation / TB sizes in the common MCS index area from the high range of the modulation set for such situations where 256QAM should be used quickly e.g. during initial call setup before an explicit selection takes place or in order to allow quick reaction towards better qualities. 10 The herein described second tables for the MCS and CQI index tables may be generated corresponding to 36.213 table 7.1.7-1 but with extension to 256QAM (Qm=8). One option is that the original table 7.1.7-1 and table with 256QAM extension are switched by eNB with an RRC-message (alternatively also MAC / or control signalling messages could be 15 considered). In this case, algorithm responsible of this switching is eNB vendor specific but will obviously take CQI reports from the UE into account. The UE may be responsible of switching the MCS index table according to the RRC message and sending an ac knowledgement to eNB about the received RRC message (the acknowledgement may not be essential, it may help however to avoid backward compatibility issues as a UE not sup 20 porting the switching will not acknowledge the command). Since it takes about 100-200ms for a RRC message to take effect in the UE (processing delays of higher layers haven't been standardized and depend on how often they have to be retransmitted in case of detection errors) and because (1) RRC messages can get lost 25 and (2) there is uncertainty related to the starting time when the new configuration is taken into use by the UE, there may need to be a MCS index area common for both tables, which allows data scheduling also during the time of uncertainty. This may ensure that an MCS from that area is understood correctly no matter whether the switching already took place or not. This common area may be continuous, i.e. has continuous MCS entries to 30 allow a fine adaptation during switching as well. MCS index, modulation order and TBS index may be identical in both MCS index tables on this area. For instance, only this common MCS index area can be used during the RRC procedure switching the tables and before eNB has received an acknowledgement from UE that it has received the RRC message switching the MCS index table. The common index area may be used also if 35 implicit table switching is used and, in this case, only the common area can be used dur ing the implicit switching procedure.
    WO 2013/123961 PCT/EP2012/052828 15 Additionally, there may be a few common low modulation / TB sizes in the common MCS index area for such situations where extended 256QAM table is in use and channel condi tions drop quickly. TB sizes that are required to transmit the switching command may be available in the common MCS index area. 5 New TB sizes may be introduced in the MCS / CQI index table with 256QAM extension in order to increase spectral efficiency with 256QAM: * Room for these new TB sizes can be taken from current low TB sizes (QPSK and possibly low 16QAM) 10 0 The reserved TBS size for QAM may also be in the low modulation common MCS area. This MCS is used for retransmissions with bad channel conditions, in particu lar if the previous initial transmission was done with a higher MCS, in particular a higher Modulation Order, or with a different number of assigned resources. How ever, it might not be necessary to also have the reserved entry for 256QAM in 15 cluded. * There can be also some 256QAM entries in the common area for situations like call setup where 256QAM would be useful to be utilized quickly (with a cost of los ing the backwards compatibility and having less entries available in the "ordinary" range). Such a default "compromise" MCS table, where sub-sampling is used to 20 achieve a higher dynamic range can be used as soon as the eNB is aware of the capabilities of the UE. A switch from the legacy table, i.e., with lower maximum modulation order, to that compromise table, i.e., with higher maximum modulation order, could be done implicitly as part of the capability enquiry procedure which also makes the capability available to the eNB. Subsequently, an explicit switching 25 to a table focusing on low or high MCS may be done, but also an explicit switching to such a sub-sampled table in case the channel conditions vary so quickly that it is not feasible to do explicit switching. An example of the MCS index and modulation table with 256QAM extension is shown in 30 Table 1. The MCS indexes 12 to 31 refer to the continuous common MCS index area. The MCS indexes 0, 5 and 10 refer to a sub-sampled low modulation common MCS index area and the MCS indexes 1 to 4, 6 to 9 and 1 refer to the 256QAM extension.

The CQI tables are switched with the same RRC message responsible for MCS index table switching. In another case, the CQI tables may be 5 switched implicitly. The eNB may be responsible of handling possible error situations caused by the unawareness which table the UE is using at an exact time during this RRC procedure. The eNB can for example simply ignore non-common CQI indexes, round them to the closest common index or take a risk and decide to which table they most probably are related to, based on some heuristics. Such error cases can happen because 10 contrary to MCS selection, where the eNB initiates the change and can therefore avoid ambiguous entries during switching, for CQI the UE isn't aware of the imminent switching and thus cannot avoid them (unless it avoids them always which is pointless). In order to increase the likelihood that the eNB can pick the right decision in case of ambiguous table entries, the minimum differences in TBS for any MCS index should be maximized. This is 15 the case in Table 1, because the entries are arranged in increasing TBS for both the 256 and QAM cases. If the 256 QAM cases were ordered inversely, for MCS index 9 there would be a TBS of 26 (in case of 256QAM) or 8 (in case of QPSK) i.e. a difference of 26 8=18, while in Table 1 the difference is 33-8=25. The higher the difference the less likely the eNB cannot use heuristics (e.g. if the channel really changed by that amount of 25 20 steps). For the same reason it may be beneficial to place the reserved 256QAM entry at the highest MCS index, i.e., for MCS index 11 in Table 1. The reserved entry is only rele vant for downlink, not for uplink. Therefore, in the uplink table it can be easily dropped and replaced by the normal entry for QAM (in Table 1 with TBS 10). 25 In order to avoid ambiguous CQI reports during the switching time, a two step switching procedure can be employed: in a first command the eNB announces the switching. From then on the UE only uses CQI reports from the common MCS area. In a second command the eNB commands to perform the switching. From then on the UE fully uses the high MCS table. Despite the fact that there are now two ambiguous periods, there is no risk for 30 misinterpretations: During both ambiguous periods the UE uses either a well defined MCS table (the original one during the first ambiguous period and the final one during the sec ond one) or only MCSs from the common MCS area and in this common area there is no risk of misunderstanding. This is due to the fact that the entries from the common MCS area may be coded identically in both tables. This will make the order of the entries in the 35 high MCS area non-consecutive but this is a minor complexity and can be solved e.g. by implementing a lookup-table.
    WO 2013/123961 PCT/EP2012/052828 18 The message flow according to this embodiment can then be like this: 1) From eNB to UE: RRC message to switch MCS table and restrict CQI reporting to the common index area. The eNB only uses common index area for MCS 5 2) From UE to eNB: confirmation (and implicitly message), the eNB can now use the complete index area of the new MCS table, the eNB knows that the UE will use new CQI table (initially only the common index area). 3) From eNB to UE: confirmation, the UE can now use the full index area of the new CQI table. 10 Despite there are actually two handshakes, it might not take 4 messages but only 2 be cause the middle message may have a double meaning on both CQI and MCS tables. Another approach to avoid ambiguous CQI reports is to allow the UE to initiate the switch 15 ing of tables for CQI and the eNB to initiate switching for MCS. Then always the originator of a message switches to corresponding tables and can thus restrict usage to the common index area during the ambiguous period. A new UE category is needed with 256QAM included in order to indicate UE's capability to 20 support 256QAM. In case the UE does not support 256QAM, the above mentioned proc ess and MCS/CQI index tables with 256QAM extensions are not used. Alternatively the eNB can transmit the switching command, and determine form the response, whether the UE supports 256QAM. In the initial access phase, 256QAM and thus the MCS table of the higher modulation order should not be used since the eNB does not yet know the UEs 25 capabilities. The process presented above can be used for extensions to even higher MCSs. Also the process can be extended to cover more than two tables to switch between. Common MCSs that are represented in two or more tables should always be at identical positions. 30 There can be differences in the size and forming of the common index areas between the tables, for example it can be possible to have different level sub-samplings in different tables. For example, there may be 3 tables, low, mid and high. Then the mid table can include every second MCS entry in the low modulation area, while the high table only uses every 4th entry there (similar to Table 1), and these entries are selected from the ones 35 which are also present in the mid table. This is possible because 2 is a divider of 4, there fore the sub sampling of the high table should not select every 3 rd or 5 th entry which would WO 2013/123961 PCT/EP2012/052828 19 not be compatible. This may also be used for Table 1 that covers a broader range of CQI values. There are numerous advantages in the proposed solution. The existing DCI format design 5 is unchanged. This allows to support 256 QAM for each DL DCI formats while maintaining the existing DCI blind decoding burden at the UE. The proposed scheme provides easy means for the eNB to avoid complicated error cases due to signaling errors. The proposed design allows to keep the basic functionality of the existing DL resource allocation (CQI/MCS index table) unchanged. Hence, it has only minimal impact to the DL scheduler 10 operation.
