The base station 105-a may signal the MCS associated with the uplink grant 215 via one or more methods. An example method may use a new dedicated radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) in addition to a cell-RNTI (C-RNTI) to indicate an allowable MCS for each logical channel. The base station 105-a may configure the new dedicated RNTI and the C-RNTI for the UE 115-a as part of the communication procedure (e.g., random access procedure). The base station 105-a may use the new dedicated RNTI to transmit a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) scheduling message (e.g. including the uplink grant 215) to the UE 115-a. For example, the new dedicated RNTI may indicate the identity of UEs that should read the scheduling message and a type of information that is being scheduled (e.g., URLLC-related data). As such, if the base station 105-a configures the new dedicated RNTI in addition to the C-RNTI, all downlink control information with a CRC scrambled by the new dedicated RNTI may be designated as using an allowable MCS from the allowable MCS table configured for a logical channel via the LCP configuration 210.
