Claim Text:
1. A method of transmitting downlink control information (DCI) by a base station, the method comprising: generating DCI for uplink scheduling including multiple modulation and coding scheme (MCS) fields each indicating a combination of a modulation order and a redundancy version for each of multiple transport blocks (TBs); transmitting the generated DCI via a downlink control channel; and receiving one or more enabled TBs among the multiple TBs via a uplink data channel according to the DCI for uplink scheduling, wherein if a TB among the multiple TBs is disabled, a MCS field for the disabled TB corresponds to either a highest modulation order with a lowest redundancy version or a lowest modulation order with the lowest redundancy version among predefined modulation orders and redundancy versions.
