1. A base station, comprising:
a transceiver configured to wirelessly communicate with a user equipment (UE); and
a processor communicatively coupled to the transceiver and configured to:
determine that the communication between the base station and the UE is in a frequency range comprising one or more frequencies above 52.6 GHz;
in response to the determination, disable a frequency domain resource assignment (FDRA), by setting a bit width associated with the FDRA to zero, or modify a Resource Indication Value (RIV) determination based on a minimum Allocated Resource Block (LRB) value;
generate a Downlink Channel Indicator (DCI) based at least on one or more of the disabled FDRA, or the modified RIV determination; and
transmit, using the transceiver, the DCI to the UE.
