Method and apparatus for transmitting channel quality information in a multi-carrier wireless communication system
First Claim
1. A method of transmitting channel quality information in a multi-carrier wireless communication system, the method performed by a mobile station (MS) and comprising:
- receiving information related to a link between a first forward link carrier and a first reverse link carrier, wherein the first forward link carrier is used to receive data from a base station (BS) and the first reverse link carrier is used to transmit data to the BS;
receiving information related to a link between a second forward link carrier and a second reverse link carrier, wherein the second forward link carrier is used to receive data from the BS and the second reverse link carrier is used to transmit data to the BS;
transmitting channel quality information for the first forward link carrier of the BS; and
transmitting channel quality information for the second forward link carrier of the BS,wherein the channel quality information for the first forward link carrier and the channel quality information for the second forward link carrier are transmitted to the BS via a same reverse link carrier,wherein the first forward link carrier and the second forward link carrier are not the same, andwherein the first reverse link carrier and the second reverse link carrier are not the same.

Abstract
A method for communicating channel quality information in a multi-carrier wireless communication system is provided. The method includes receiving information related to a link between a first forward link carrier used to receive data from a base station and a first reverse link carrier used to transmit data to the base station, receiving information related to a link between a second forward link carrier used to receive data from the base station and a second reverse link carrier used to transmit data to the base station, and transmitting channel quality information for the first forward link carrier and for the second forward link carrier to the base station via a same reverse link carrier, where the first forward link carrier and the second forward link carrier are not the same and the first reverse link carrier and the second reverse link carrier are not the same.
