Abstract
Some embodiments include a method performed by a network node for indicating a modulation and coding scheme for a wireless device operating in a coverage enhancement mode, wherein the wireless device operates with a first modulation and coding scheme using physical downlink shared channel repetitions and with a second modulation and coding scheme without using physical downlink shared channel repetitions, and wherein the second modulation and coding scheme is a higher order of modulation and coding than the first modulation and coding scheme, the method comprising configuring, when physical downlink shared channel repetitions are not used, the downlink control information to indicate one or more parameters related to the second modulation and coding scheme, the indication comprising at least the modulation and coding scheme field of the first modulation and coding scheme and one or more downlink control information field bits which are used in relation to repetitions when repetitions of a physical downlink shared channel are used.
