16-QUADRATURE AMPLITUDE MODULATION (16-QAM) DOWNLINK CONFIGURATION

Abstract:

A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus may enable selection of a modulation order (Q.sub.m) parameter, a transport block size (TBS) parameter, a quantity of subframes in a transport block (N.sub.SF) parameter, and/or the like. For example, based at least in part on receiving a downlink control information or another factor, a user equipment may select, for example, a table of Q.sub.m, TBS, and N.sub.SF values and may select a particular set of a Q.sub.m value, a TBS value, and an N.sub.SF value from the table. In this way, the UE may use a higher order modulation and coding scheme in, for example, a narrowband Internet of Things deployment.
