[ 22. A method performed by a radio node of a cellular network, the radio node being operable to apply a first Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) table of a first table configuration, the method comprising:
detecting that a higher modulation order, which is higher than a maximum modulation order of the first MCS table, is possible to use in a radio communication between the radio node and a first UE; and
instructing the first UE to apply a second MCS table of a second table configuration in the radio communication, wherein the second MCS table supports the higher modulation order;
wherein a table row in the first MCS table and a table row in the second MCS table both contain a same combination of lowest modulation order and Transport Block Size (TBS) index, and wherein the table row in the first MCS table and the table row in the second MCS table are both indexed by a lowest MCS index of the lowest modulation order; and
wherein use of the lowest MCS index of the lowest modulation order when the second table configuration is applied indicates that a MCS table used in a next transmission falls back to the first MCS table of the first table configuration. ]
