An apparatus for wireless communications is described. The apparatus may include a processor, memory in electronic communication with the processor, and instructions stored in the memory. The instructions may be executable by the processor to cause the apparatus to receive an LCP configuration for each logical channel of a set of logical channels during a connection procedure with a base station, the LCP configuration indicating allowable MCSs for each logical channel of the set of logical channels, receive an uplink grant for transmitting data using a corresponding logical channel of the set of logical channels, identify an MCS associated with the received uplink grant, and transmit the data using the corresponding logical channel with the identified MCS.
Another apparatus for wireless communications is described. The apparatus may include means for receiving an LCP configuration for each logical channel of a set of logical channels during a connection procedure with a base station, the LCP configuration indicating allowable MCSs for each logical channel of the set of logical channels, receiving an uplink grant for transmitting data using a corresponding logical channel of the set of logical channels, identifying an MCS associated with the received uplink grant, and transmitting the data using the corresponding logical channel with the identified MCS.
