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 (28)

1. A terminal for a wireless network, the terminal being 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 comprising information one of indicating a table of the set of alternative tables to be used and configuring a channel quality indicator (CQI) table for a measurement subframe set, the one of the indicating the table of the set of alternative tables and the configuring the CQI table being based on whether the measurement subframe set is configured for a transmission mode.

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

3. The terminal according to claim 2 , wherein the control message comprises a parameter configuring a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) table for both of two measurement subframe sets and at the same time configuring the CQI table for one of the measurement subframe set.

4. The terminal according to claim 3 , the terminal being configured to operate with a 256QAM MCS table, if one of a first and second measurement set is configured with a 256QAM CQI table.

5. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the control message comprises a parameter configuring a MCS table for both of two measurement subframe sets and at the same time configuring the CQI table for one of the measurement subframe set.

6. The terminal according to claim 1 , the terminal being configured to operate with a 256QAM MCS table, if one of a first and second measurement set is configured with a 256QAM CQI table.

7. 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 comprising information one of indicating a table of the set of alternative tables to be used and configuring a channel quality indicator (CQI) table for a measurement subframe set, the one of the indicating the table of the set of alternative tables and the configuring the CQI table being based on whether the measurement subframe set is configured for a transmission mode.

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

9. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the control message comprises a parameter configuring a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) table for both of two measurement subframe sets and at the same time configuring the CQI table for one of the measurement subframe set.

10. The method according to claim 9 , further comprising operating with a 256QAM MCS table, if one of a first and second measurement set is configured with a 256QAM CQI table.

11. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the control message comprises a parameter configuring a MCS table for both of two measurement subframe sets and at the same time configuring the CQI table for one of the measurement subframe set.

12. The method according to claim 9 , further comprising operating with a 256QAM MCS table, if one of a first and second measurement set is configured with a 256QAM CQI table.

13. A base station for a wireless network, the base station being configured to:

determine a control message;

transmit the control message to a terminal;

the control message comprising information indicating a table of a set of alternative tables to be used; and

the control message comprising information one of indicating a table of the set of alternative tables to be used and configuring a channel quality indicator (CQI) table for a measurement subframe set, the one of the indicating the table of the set of alternative tables and the configuring the CQI table being based on whether the measurement subframe set is configured for a transmission mode.

14. The base station according to claim 13 , wherein the set of alternative tables refers to different modulation schemes.

15. The base station according to claim 13 , wherein the control message comprises a parameter configuring a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) table for both of two measurement subframe sets and at the same time configuring the CQI table for one of the measurement subframe set.

16. The base station according to claim 13 , the control message being adapted for configuring the terminal for operating with a 256QAM MCS table, if one of a first and second measurement set is configured with a 256QAM CQI table.
