<p>Methods and apparatus to report link quality measurements for downlink dual carrier operation are disclosed. Example methods and apparatus disclosed herein implement one or more example techniques for reporting link quality measurements involving, for example, modifying measurement reporting messages to increase the number and/or types of link quality measurements that can be reported, permitting mobile stations, when appropriate, to use different reporting messages capable of supporting more link quality measurements, and/or prioritizing certain link quality measurements to be reported when the reporting messages do not contain sufficient space to report all requested and/or specified link quality measurements. In a downlink ack/nack message (300) of an EGPRS communication system, the length of an extension field (325) containing link quality measurements is indicated by a length field (330) comprising a range of values divided into a first and a second range, the one range being used for indicating extension field lengths lying beyond a limit of the extension field length and the other range being used for indicating extension field lengths lying below said limit of the extension field length.</p> |
