Network controlled channel information reporting
First Claim
1. A method of reporting channel information in a wireless communication system, comprising:
- a mobile terminal normally providing a basic channel report, said basic channel report at least partially characterizing a downlink channel;
said mobile terminal receiving at least one common feedback criterion broadcast to a plurality of mobile terminals;
said mobile terminal determining whether said mobile terminal satisfies a condition based on said at least one common feedback criterion; and
said mobile terminal selectively providing an enhanced channel report regarding said downlink channel if said condition is satisfied, wherein said enhanced channel report provides a more detailed view of said downlink channel than said basic channel report.

Abstract
A method of supplying channel information in a wireless communication system comprises a mobile terminal normally providing a basic channel report to the wireless communication system; the mobile terminal receiving at least one common feedback criterion broadcast to a plurality of mobile terminals; the mobile terminal determining if the mobile terminal satisfies a condition based on the at least one common feedback criterion; and the mobile terminal selectively providing an enhanced channel report to the wireless communication system based on the determining. The basic channel report may comprise information related to a first set of channel parameters, and the enhanced channel report may provide greater detail on the first set of channel parameters and/or relate to a second set of channel parameters. A method of a base station adaptively controlling channel information reporting by broadcast transmitting at least one common feedback criterion is also presented.

20. A wireless communications mobile terminal, comprising:
-
a transmitter operative to normally provide a basic channel report, said basic channel report at least partially characterizing a downlink channel; a receiver operative to receive at least one common feedback criterion broadcast to a plurality of mobile terminals; control logic coupled to said transmitter and said receiver and operative to determine whether said mobile terminal satisfies a condition based on said at least one common feedback criterion and to cause said transmitter to selectively transmit an enhanced channel report regarding said downlink channel if said condition is satisfied, wherein said enhanced channel report provides a more detailed view of said downlink channel than said basic channel report. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32)

33. A method of controlling channel information reporting in a wireless communication system, comprising:
-
a base station receiving a plurality of basic channel reports transmitted from a plurality of mobile terminals, said basic channel reports at least partially characterizing one or more downlink channels from said base station; determining, by said base station, at least one common feedback criterion;
said at least one common feedback criterion helping to define a condition whose satisfaction controls which plurality of said plurality of mobile terminals subsequently transmit an enhanced channel report regarding one or more of said downlink channels to said base station;broadcast transmitting said at least one common feedback criterion from said base station to said plurality of mobile terminals; and wherein said enhanced channel report provides a more detailed view of said downlink channel than said basic channel report. - View Dependent Claims (34, 35, 36, 37, 38)

39. A base station in a wireless communication system, comprising:
-
at least one receiver circuit receiving a plurality of basic channel reports transmitted from a plurality of mobile terminals, said basic channel reports at least partially characterizing one or more downlink channels from said base station; a transmitter; control logic connected to said receiver and said transmitter and operative to determine at least one common feedback criterion;
said at least one common feedback criterion helping to define a condition whose satisfaction controls which plurality of said plurality of mobile terminals subsequently transmit an enhanced channel report regarding one or more of said downlink channels to said base station;said control logic further operative to cause said transmitter to transmit said at least one common feedback criterion in a broadcast fashion from said base station to said plurality of mobile terminals; and wherein said enhanced channel report provides a more detailed view of said downlink channel than said basic channel report. - View Dependent Claims (40, 41, 42, 43, 44)
