Embodiments of the disclosure provides a method for transmitting data of hotspot cell coverage including: step a. a base station adjusts a Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) table allowing the same to satisfy a 256 QAM modulation scheme, and acquires layer 1 Transport Block Size (TBS) when the modulation scheme is 256 QAM; step b. on the basis of NPRB, ITBS and the number of Transport Block (TB) mapping layers, the base station determines the TBS currently transmitting data, and transmits data on the basis of the TBS. Embodiments of the disclosure also provides a device and base station for transmitting data. Employment of the method, device, and base station for transmitting the data of hotspot cell coverage of embodiments of the disclosure allows for optimized modulation scheme for the same to support up to 256 QAM, and for improved system throughput, thus solving the problem in hotspot cell coverage of system transmission speed not capable of satisfying actual demand.
