CHANNEL QUALITY MEASUREMENTS FOR DOWNLINK RESOURCE ALLOCATION

摘要

In a wireless digital communication system which may employ CDMA technology, a method (50) and system for obtaining channel quality (CQ) measurements for downlink resource allocation wherein a User Equipment (UE) (12) continuously measures RSCP (step) based on a communication on a reference channel provided by the network. The UE (12) measures timeslot ISCP (step 56) either continuously, by configuration or by rotation and reports downlink CQ (step 58). The UE (12) may report the RSCP once and the ISCP per timeslot, or may report some function of the RSCP/ISCP ratio such as modulation parameters or combined coding of all timeslots.
