Transmission using multiple modulation and coding scheme values

A method performed by a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:

• receiving signaling that indicates a plurality of modulation and coding scheme (MCS) values associated with respective sets of frequency resources allocated for a transport block (TB);
• obtaining a size of the TB based at least in part on the plurality of MCS values and the respective sets of frequency resources;
• and
• mapping one or more code blocks (CBs) to the respective sets of frequency resources for transmission or reception of the TB based at least in part on the size of the TB.

A network equipment (NE) for wireless communication, comprising:

• at least one memory;
• and
• at least one processor coupled with the at least one memory and operable to cause the NE to:
• transmit signaling that indicates a plurality of modulation and coding scheme (MCS) values associated with respective sets of frequency resources allocated for a transport block (TB), wherein a size of the TB is based at least in part on the plurality of MCS values and the respective sets of frequency resources;
• and
• transmit or receive, on the respective sets of frequency resources, one or more code blocks (CBs) of the TB based at least in part on the size of the TB.
