Channel estimation and channel quality indicator (CQI) measurements for a high-speed downlink GPRS

摘要

An apparatus for providing a Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) scheme for link adaptation including use of channel estimation and Channel Quality Indicator (CQI) measurements by bundling several timeslots of a frame within the existing GSM/GPRS/EDGE system. An algorithm for providing rotation of MS users such that each one will benefit from measuring all timeslots of the frame resulting in more reliable and accurate transmission of information.
