Method and apparatus for providing a downlink performance benefit in a communications system

摘要

A method within and subscriber unit that is arranged and constructed for realizing a performance benefit in a communications system that controls performance includes: a receiver for receiving a downlink signal; a processor coupled to the receiver for determining a performance metric corresponding to the downlink signal that complies with air interface requirements for the communications system; a transmitter for reporting the performance metric on an uplink channel; and a receiver processor for processing the downlink signal to provide a received signal having an improved performance metric.
