Abstract:
1. A method of determining a Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) at a receiving party in a mobile communication system, the method comprising: receiving, from a transmitting party, an index indicating a specific MCS level in a predetermined MCS lookup table predetermined between the receiving party and the transmitting party; and determining, at the receiving party, the MCS applied to a signal transmission of the transmitting party according to the received index, wherein the MCS lookup table comprises two or more of MCS sets having a same metric, the same metric corresponding to a multiplication of a coding rate and a modulation rate, and wherein the two or more of MCS sets having the same metric comprises two or more MCS levels having the same metric, but having different modulation rate from each other.
