APPARATUS, METHODS AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCTS PROVIDING SIGNALING OF TIME STAGGERED MEASUREMENT REPORTS AND SCHEDULING IN RESPONSE THERETO

摘要

A method includes determining a value representative of an overall quality of a set of channels and transmitting during a reporting interval an indication of the determined value. The method also includes determining at least one additional value representative of a quality of a subset of the set of channels, and transmitting in at least one subsequent reporting interval an indication of the at least one additional value. Another method includes receiving during a reporting interval an indication of a value representative of an overall quality of a set of channels and receiving during at least one subsequent reporting interval an indication of at least one additional value representative of a quality of a subset of the set of channels. The method further includes, using the values, scheduling resources associated with the channels in the set, and transmitting an indication of the scheduled resources.
