For the ultra-reliable low-latency communication (URLLC), the existing joint design algorithms of channel training and data transmission are not applicable due to the stringent reliability requirement and limited blocklength. To address this issue, we develop a low-complexity joint design framework for MISO communication based on the finite blocklength code (FBC). Specifically, an approximate bound of the packet error probability (PEP) is first derived and validated by practical modulation and coding schemes. It reveals the inherent tension between reliability, latency, and information bit number. Then, we formulate the joint design into a nonconvex optimization problem with the objective to maximize the information bit number. By exploiting the monotonicity of the PEP approximate bound, we provide closed-form solutions of power and blocklength allocation. Thereby, we develop a low-complexity algorithm to support the URLLC services aiming at the information bit number maximization. Furthermore, we investigate the joint designs to optimize the reliability, latency, and total energy, respectively, to fully meet the diverse demands of URLLC services. Finally, numerical results are provided to validate the proposed joint designs. The results show the outage capacity-based design severely underestimates the required wireless resources.
