Method and apparatus for controlling transmission of channel quality information according to characteristics of a time-varying channel in a mobile communication system

摘要

A method and apparatus for efficiently transmitting channel quality information on a radio channel in a mobile communication system are provided. The reporting cycle of channel quality information is changed adaptively according to time-varying characteristics associated with the Doppler frequency of a radio channel or the variation of the channel quality information. Therefore, the channel quality information is efficiently transmitted. Also, the decrease of unnecessary frequent information transmissions reduces an uplink interference power level and power consumption in user equipment (UE), as well.
