               1. A wireless communication method for use in a wireless terminal, the wireless communication method comprising: 
            receiving, from a wireless network node, a signal indicating a plurality of transmission parameters, 
                determining an intermediate transport block size (TBS) for a transport block transmitted between the wireless terminal and the wireless network node based on the plurality of transmission parameters, 
                modifying the intermediate TBS to generate a modified TBS in response to at least one event, and 
                determining a final TBS based on the modified TBS and a specific step in response to the at least one event, 
                wherein the specific step is determined based on the plurality of transmission parameters, 
                wherein the plurality of transmission parameters comprises a type of a transmission mode configured for the wireless terminal, and wherein the transmission mode is determined based on one of a user equipment (UE) capability and a UE category, 
                wherein a number of physical resource blocks (PRBs) in the signal is quantized by a scaling factor which is associated with a bandwidth of a bandwidth part of the wireless terminal.
