1. A method performed by a network node configured to communicate with a wireless device, the method comprising:
determining a resource allocation for 16-quadrature amplitude modulation, 16-QAM, based communication for the wireless device; and
indicating, to the wireless device, one or both of a transport block size, TBS, and a number of allocated time-domain resources that are associated with the determined resource allocation using a TBS index and a time-domain resource index, the TBS index and the time-domain resource index being determined in accordance with a table for allocating one of transport blocks and number of allocated time-domain resources for the 16-QAM based communication,
the table for allocating one of transport blocks and the number of allocated time-domain resources for the 16-QAM based communication corresponding to a time domain resource assignment (TDRA) rearrangement with respect to a table for allocating one or more of transport blocks and a number of allocated time-domain resources defined for a quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) based communication, and the one or both of the TBS and the number of allocated time-domain resources being determined using the TBS index and the time-domain resource index that is corresponding to a reduced number of allocated time-domain resources compared to a number of allocated time-domain resources corresponding to the same TBS as required in the table for allocating one of transport blocks and the number of allocated time-domain resources defined for the QPSK based communication.
