Claim:
1. A method comprising: controlling a modulation and coding scheme for a transmission between a base station and a user equipment, wherein the modulation and coding scheme is selectable based on a first modulation and coding scheme table comprising entries corresponding to a plurality of modulation and coding schemes with a first maximum modulation order or based on a second modulation and coding scheme table comprising entries corresponding to a plurality of modulation and coding schemes with a second maximum modulation order, the method comprising selecting, by the base station, the first modulation and coding scheme table or the second modulation and coding scheme table, both tables having a common index area that is positioned in both tables in an identical position; and controlling, by the base station, the modulation and coding scheme for the transmission between the base station and the user equipment based on the selected modulation and coding scheme table, wherein the second maximum modulation order is higher than the first maximum modulation order, in particular wherein the first maximum modulation order corresponds to 64QAM and the second modulation order corresponds to 256QAM.
