To address the need for new techniques that enable the identification of errant channel reporting devices, various embodiments are described. In some embodiments, a network node receives (201, 401) channel quality indicators (CQI) from user equipment (UE) via a connection and determines (202, 402) whether the CQI are erroneous. In response to determining that the CQI are erroneous, the network node records (203) a timestamp and a connection identifier corresponding to the connection between the UE and the network node. In other embodiments, the network node, in response to determining that the CQI are erroneous, records (403) a device hardware identifier for the UE. In the various embodiments, information is recorded and/or obtained and distributed in a manner that enables the identification of errant channel reporting devices within a communication system.
