METHOD OF REDUCING SIGNALLING OVERHEAD AND POWER CONSUMPTION IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

FIELD: information technology. ^ SUBSTANCE: disclosed is a method of transmitting channel quality information (CQI) to an access network (AN) in a system with at least one carrier. The method includes receiving at least one packet from the AN, each of which includes an indicator, wherein the indicator provides buffer level information and ceasing transmission of the CQI of at least one non-anchor carrier to the AN if the buffer level information indicates that there are no more packets to be transmitted to an access terminal (AT). ^ EFFECT: reduced signalling overhead. ^ 17 cl, 6 dwg
