HS-SCCH orders for CQI mode selection

摘要

A network node (28) communicates over a radio interface (32) with a wireless terminal (30). Both the network node (28) and the wireless terminal (30) have multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) capabilities. A MIMO-related order (90) is generated for inclusion in control signaling on a high speed downlink shared channel from the network node (28) to the wireless terminal (30). The MIMO-related order (90) is configured to modify channel quality indication (CQI) communications between the wireless terminal (30) and the base station (28) in view of MIMO capabilities of the wireless terminal (30). The method further comprises providing a channel quality indication (CQI) report (92) the wireless terminal (30) to the base station (28) in accordance with the order.

1. A network node operative to communicate over a radio interface with a wireless terminal having multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) capabilities, comprising:
a network node configured to generate a MIMO-related order for inclusion in the control signaling on the high speed downlink shared channel, the MIMO-related order being configured to modify channel quality indication (CQI) communications between the wireless terminal and the network node so as to cause the wireless terminal to transmit to the network node a MIMO CQI including preferred precoder weights and quantized SNR when the wireless terminal is not operating in a MIMO mode.
