APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR REPORTING A CHANNEL QUALITY INDICATION TO NON-SERVING CELLS

摘要

A method in a wireless communication device and an apparatus, such as a wireless communication device (120), for reporting a channel quality indication to non-serving cells. The device can operate on a shared channel on a serving cell (130). The device can send a channel quality indicator message (150) on a medium access control layer to multiple candidate cells (132), (134) in an active set of cells. The device can then switch from the serving cell to a new serving cell from the multiple candidate cells based on information in the channel quality indicator message.
