METHODS AND APPARATUSES FOR PROVIDING A BINARY CHANNEL QUALITY INDICATOR FOR A SERVING WIRELESS CHANNEL

摘要

The present disclosure presents methods and apparatuses for providing a simplified channel quality indicator associated with a serving channel to a serving wireless node, so that the load and delay for feedback can be minimized. For example, the present disclosure describes example methods of channel quality indicator determination and reporting by a user equipment (UE), which may include measuring a serving channel of a wireless node and calculating a binary channel quality indicator that identifies a general quality of a serving channel of the wireless node. Additionally, example methods may include transmitting the binary channel quality indicator from the UE to the wireless node. Furthermore, upon successful receipt of the binary channel quality indicator, the wireless node may alter one or more channel characteristics based on the binary channel quality indicator, thereby providing improved user experience at the UE.
