METHOD FOR EFFICIENT REPORTING OF CHANNEL QUALITY INFORMATION FROM USER EQUIPMENT TO THE NETWORK

摘要

A method for efficient reporting of Channel Quality Information (CQI) from User Equipment (UE) to a network. The method includes data communication between the UE (102) and eNodeB (104). To schedule the UE (102) the eNodeB (104) further requests for CQI of the top-m PRBs which is calculated at the eNodeB end, and the value of 'm' can be different for each UE. The UE (102) further reports the CQI of the determined number of PRBs. Thereafter, the eNodeB (104) selects the best channel based on the CQI received and schedules the UE (102) with the best PRB of the determined number of PRBs.
