MTC Terminal Modulation Order and Transport Block Size Determination

The patent applies local quality by creating terminal-specific MCS and TBS configurations based on individual channel properties. Different terminal types (e.g., MTC terminals with low data rates versus regular terminals) receive customized MCS tables and TBS determination methods tailored to their specific channel conditions and performance requirements, rather than using a universal configuration for all terminals.

The patent implements dynamics by making the MCS and TBS configuration adaptive to changing channel conditions. The base station determines appropriate MCS indices and TBS values based on real-time channel state information, allowing the system to dynamically adjust modulation and transport block parameters to match current channel quality and terminal capabilities.

The patent applies universality by designing MCS tables and TBS determination methods that can serve multiple terminal types through a unified framework. The same basic structure and signaling mechanisms are used across different terminal types, but with configurable parameters that adapt to specific requirements, reducing the need for entirely separate signaling systems for each terminal category.

The patent uses parameter changes to optimize the balance between transmission efficiency and signaling overhead. By carefully selecting and adjusting parameters such as MCS index ranges, TBS table configurations, and channel state information reporting formats, the system achieves terminal-specific optimization while keeping signaling overhead within acceptable limits through efficient parameter encoding and selection.
