24 Claims

1. An apparatus of wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:

a memory; and

at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to:

limit a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) for a communication with a base station to less than or equal to 16-quadrature amplitude modulation (16-QAM) when a communication frequency for the communication is above 52.6 GHz and a subcarrier spacing selected for the communication is 120 KHz or below;

transmit, to the base station, a capability message indicating a maximum MCS that the UE can support is the 16-QAM when the communication is above the 52.6 GHz and the subcarrier spacing selected for the communication is the 120 KHz or below; and

communicate with the base station using the MCS that is less than or equal to the 16-QAM when the communication is above the 52.6 GHz and the subcarrier spacing selected for the communication is the 120 KHz or below.
