Abstract

The present disclosure pertains to a terminal for a wireless network, the terminal being adapted to receive a control message. The terminal further is adapted to read from one of a set of alternative tables based on the control message, and to perform modulation configuration based on information read from the table.

Claims (33)

1. A terminal for a wireless network, the terminal comprising:

control circuitry configured to:

receive a control message;

read from one of a set of alternative tables based on the control message;

perform modulation configuration based on information read from the table; and

the control message comprises a parameter configuring a Modulation Coding Scheme (MCS) table for both of two measurement subframe sets and at the same time configuring a CQI table for one of the measurement subframe sets.

2. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the set of alternative tables refers to different modulation schemes.

3. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured to operate with a 256 Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (256QAM) MCS table, if one of the first and second measurement subframe sets is configured with a 256QAM CQI table.

4. A method for a terminal for a wireless network, the method comprising:

receiving a control message;

reading from one of a set of alternative tables based on the control message;

performing modulation configuration based on information read from the table; and

the control message comprises a parameter configuring a Modulation Coding Scheme (MCS) table for both of two measurement subframe sets and at the same time configuring a CQI table for one of the measurement subframe sets.

5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the set of alternative tables refers to different modulation schemes.

6. The method according to claim 4 , further comprising operating with a 256 Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (256QAM) MCS table, if one of the first and second measurement subframe sets is configured with a 256QAM CQI table.

7. A base station for a wireless network, the base station comprising:

control circuitry configured to:

determine a control message;

transmit the control message to a terminal; and

the control message comprising:

information indicating a table of a set of alternative tables to be used; and

a parameter configuring a Modulation Coding Scheme (MCS) table for both of two measurement subframe sets and at the same time configuring a CQI table for one of the measurement subframe sets.

8. The base station according to claim 7 , wherein the set of alternative tables refers to different modulation schemes.

9. The base station according to claim 7 , the control message being configured for configuring the control circuitry for operating with a 256 Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (256QAM) MCS table, if one of the first and second measurement subframe sets is configured with a 256QAM CQI table.

10. A method for a base station for a wireless network, the method comprising:

determining a control message;

transmitting the control message to a terminal;

the control message comprising:

information indicating a table of a set of alternative tables to be used; and

a parameter configuring a Modulation Coding Scheme (MCS) table for both of two measurement subframe sets and at the same time configuring a CQI table for one of the measurement subframe sets.

11. The method according to claim 10 , wherein the set of alternative tables refers to different modulation schemes.

12. The terminal according to claim 11 , the control circuitry being further configured to operate with a 256 Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (256QAM) MCS table, if one of the first and second measurement subframe sets is configured with a 256QAM CQI table.

13. The method according to claim 10 , the control message being configured for configuring the terminal for operating with a 256 Quadrate Amplitude Modulation (256QAM) MCS table, if one of the first and second measurement subframe sets is configured with a 256QAM CQI table.
