A method of performing, by a user equipment, a communication between a base station and the user equipment, the method comprising: transmitting, by the user equipment, a channel quality indicator, the channel quality indicator being selectable by the user equipment based on a first channel quality indicator table supporting a maximum modulation order corresponding to 64 QAM or based on a second channel quality indicator table supporting a maximum modulation order corresponding to 256 QAM; receiving, from the base station, radio resource control signalling comprising first information indicative of a selected modulation and coding scheme table, the selected modulation and coding scheme table being a first modulation and coding scheme table comprising entries corresponding to a plurality of modulation and coding schemes with a maximum modulation order corresponding to 64 QAM or a second modulation and coding scheme table comprising entries corresponding to a plurality of modulation and coding schemes with a maximum modulation order corresponding to 256 QAM and having been selected from modulation and coding scheme tables including the first modulation and coding scheme table and the second modulation and coding scheme table; receiving, from the base station, second information indicative of a selected channel quality indicator table, the selected channel quality indicator table being the first channel quality indicator table or the second channel quality indicator table and having been selected from channel quality indicator tables including the first channel quality indicator table and the second channel quality indicator table; and performing, by the user equipment, the communication between the base station and the user equipment, in accordance with a modulation and coding scheme, the modulation and coding scheme being controlled by the base station, based on the selected modulation and coding scheme table. transmitting, by the user equipment, a channel quality indicator, the channel quality indicator being selectable by the user equipment based on a first channel quality indicator table supporting a maximum modulation order corresponding to 64 QAM or based on a second channel quality indicator table supporting a maximum modulation order corresponding to 256 QAM; receiving, from the base station, radio resource control signalling comprising first information indicative of a selected modulation and coding scheme table, the selected modulation and coding scheme table being a first modulation and coding scheme table comprising entries corresponding to a plurality of modulation and coding schemes with a maximum modulation order corresponding to 64 QAM or a second modulation and coding scheme table comprising entries corresponding to a plurality of modulation and coding schemes with a maximum modulation order corresponding to 256 QAM and having been selected from modulation and coding scheme tables including the first modulation and coding scheme table and the second modulation and coding scheme table; receiving, from the base station, second information indicative of a selected channel quality indicator table, the selected channel quality indicator table being the first channel quality indicator table or the second channel quality indicator table and having been selected from channel quality indicator tables including the first channel quality indicator table and the second channel quality indicator table; and performing, by the user equipment, the communication between the base station and the user equipment, in accordance with a modulation and coding scheme, the modulation and coding scheme being controlled by the base station, based on the selected modulation and coding scheme table.
