First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of wireless communication, comprising:
- receiving, from a Node B, a channel quality indicator (CQI) request, wherein the CQI request is associated with a payload ID set to zero;
generating a CQI response for transmission to the Node B in response to the CQI request, wherein the CQI response indicates a maximum data rate associated with downlink transmission from the Node B; and
transmitting the CQI response to the Node B at a defined time instance after the CQI request is received.
