Alternatively, in some cases the UE 115-a may determine an absence of an RNTI configuration for the UE 115-a and identify the allowable MCSs for each logical channel of the set of logical channels based on an indication in a field of a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) configuration IE (e.g., mcs-Table field in PUSCH-ConfiglE) If no RNTI is configured and a value in the field of the PUSCH configuration IE matches an allowable MCS table of a corresponding logical channel, then DCI transmitted in a UE-specific search space may use an allowable MCS in the allowable MCS table and DCI transmitted in a common search space may use an MCS in another MCS table (e.g. conventional MCS table).
For example, the UE 115-a may receive the DCI associated with the uplink grant 215 and determine that the search space associated with the uplink grant 215 is a UE-specific search space. In this example, the UE 115-a may identify that the MCS associated with the uplink grant 215 is a certain MCS. The UE 115-a may then compare the MCS associated with the uplink grant 215 and an allowable MCS of a corresponding logical channel. If a match exists, the UE 115-a may transmit data 220 associated with the uplink grant 215 using the corresponding logical channel. Otherwise, the UE 115-a may refrain from transmitting data 220. For example, the UE 115-a may determine that the search space associated with the uplink grant 215 is a common search space and identify that the MCS of the uplink grant 215 is an MCS that is not in at least one MCS table configured for the corresponding logical channel via the LCP configuration 210. As a result, the UE 115-a may refrain from transmitting data 220.
