1. An apparatus, comprising:
- at least one processor; and
at least one memory storing a computer program;
in which the at least one memory with the computer program is configured with the at least one processor to cause the apparatus to at least;
in response to resuming data transmission/reception upon activation of a serving cell, to enable carrier aggregation, reporting to a network access node an out of range report for the serving cell for a certain period before a valid channel quality indication result is available if a periodic channel quality indication resource is configured for the serving cell or if an aperiodic channel quality indication for the serving cell is requested from the network access node, where a minimum requirement is defined for the certain time period before the valid channel quality indication result is reported; and
after the certain time period reporting to the network access node a valid channel quality indication result for the serving cell, where the valid channel quality indication result is reported no later than the minimum requirement.

Abstract
A method, computer program and apparatus operate when resuming data transmission/reception upon activation of a serving cell, or after a long in-device coexistence interference avoidance gap, to determine whether to report to a network access node an in-device coexistence interference indicator value and send the in-device coexistence interference indicator value to the network access node, The in-device coexistence interference indicator value is reported to the network access node for a certain period if any periodic channel quality indication resource is configured for the cell, or if an aperiodic channel quality indication for the cell is requested from the network access node.

15. An apparatus, comprising:
-
at least one processor; and at least one memory storing a computer program; in which the at least one memory with the computer program is configured with the at least one processor to cause the apparatus to at least; receive a radio transmission from a user equipment resuming data transmission/reception upon activation of a serving cell, to enable carrier aggregation, the radio transmission reporting to the apparatus an out of range report for the serving cell for a certain period before a valid channel quality indication result is available if a periodic channel quality indication resource is configured for the serving cell, or if an aperiodic channel quality indication for the serving cell is requested from the apparatus, where a minimum requirement is defined for the certain time period before the valid channel quality indication result is reported to the apparatus from the user equipment, and after the certain time period, receiving from the user equipment a report of a valid channel quality indication result for the serving cell, where the valid channel quality indication result is reported to the apparatus from the user equipment no later than the minimum requirement. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
