Embodiments herein provide method of determining modulation and coding scheme (MCS) at a base station (BS). The method comprises obtaining, by the BS, downlink channel state information (DL-CSI) corresponding to a plurality of UEs. Also, the method comprises receiving feedback from the plurality of UEs, said feedback is at least one of explicit interference power and noise power feedback, post processing signal power-to-interference power plus noise power-based and determining MCS associated with a subset of UEs from the plurality of UEs using a predefined mapping between the MCS and a combination of DL-CSI and the feedback from the plurality of UEs. Further, the method comprises indicating the determined MCS to the subset of UEs from the plurality of UEs.
