First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- determining either spectral locations of a first carrier and a second carrier, or correlation between the first carrier and the second carrier; and
selecting a report format among a plurality of report formats based on either the determined correlation or spectral locations, wherein each of the report formats specifies channel state information for the first carrier and the second carrier, the channel state information including data rate information.

Abstract
An approach is provided for specifying channel state information in a multi-carrier communication system. A determination of either spectral locations of a first carrier and a second carrier, or correlation between the first carrier and the second carrier is made. A report format among a plurality of report formats is selected based on either the determined correlation or spectral locations. Each of the report formats specifies channel state information for the first carrier and the second carrier. The channel state information includes data rate information.

22. A system comprising:
-
a base station configured to communicate over a first link comprising a plurality of carriers; and
a terminal configured to communicate with the base station over the first link and a second link, wherein the terminal is further configured to determine either spectral locations of the carriers or correlation between the carriers, the terminal being further configured to select one of a plurality of report channel formats corresponding to the second link based on either the spectral locations or the correlation, wherein each of the report channel formats specifies channel state information including data rate information for the carriers. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24)
