1. In a wireless network comprising a network entity, a method for a user equipment (“

  • UE”

    ) to process downlink transmissions from the network entity, the method comprising;

    transmitting, by the UE to the network entity, a message identifying a first type of modulation;

    receiving, by the UE from the network entity, a first configuration message that indicates that the UE is to be configured to use the first type of modulation;

    in response to the first configuration message, selecting a first set of modulation and coding schemes;

    receiving, by the UE from the network entity, a first downlink control information message, wherein the first downlink control information message includes a designation of a first modulation and coding scheme and an assignment of a first set of downlink resource blocks to the UE, and wherein the first modulation and coding scheme is one of the first set of modulation and coding schemes;

    determining, based on the first modulation and coding scheme, that the UE is to use the first type of modulation;

    determining a first transport block size based on the first modulation and coding scheme and on the first set of assigned downlink resource blocks;

    receiving a first downlink signal from the network entity; and

    processing the first downlink signal using the first type of modulation and the first transport block size.
