Disclosed is a method for use in a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication network in which the network includes a plurality of cells provided by one or more base stations operable to transmit signals on at least one downlink to, and receive signals on at least one uplink from, one or more user equipments. A user equipment feeds back to the network reports on channel state information, CSI, relating to one or more channels between base stations and that user equipment, and base stations adapt downlink signals to user equipments based on the CSI reports, the method including: identifying uplink resources for a user equipment-initiated channel state message; the user equipment judging a need for a user equipment-initiated channel state message based on information not available to the network; and the user equipment sending the user equipment-initiated channel state message to the network using the uplink resources identified. |
