1. A method performed by a wireless communication device, the method comprising:
receiving control information from a wireless communication node, wherein the control information includes a plurality of transmission parameters related to transport blocks to be transmitted between the wireless communication device and the wireless communication node;
calculating a transport block size (TBS) for the transport blocks based on the plurality of transmission parameters;
determining a final TBS for the transport blocks by selecting a TBS that is closest to the calculated TBS among a set of quantized TBSs denoted by {TBSi, i=1, 2, . . . N} wherein N is a positive integer greater than 2, a quantization step size of the set of quantized TBSs increases with increasing TBS values, and the final TBS is not smaller than the calculated TBS; and
using the final TBS for transmissions between the wireless communication device and the wireless communication node.
