Abstract

A method of reporting of channel quality in a wireless communication system is disclosed. A method of reporting of channel quality in a user equipment, which receives a point-to-multipoint service in a wireless communication system, comprises receiving configuration information for reporting of channel quality from a network, the configuration information corresponding to each of at least one uplink channel, receiving a request message requesting the channel quality from the network, and reporting the channel quality using configuration information corresponding to an uplink channel among the at least one uplink channel.

Claims

1. A method of reporting channel quality (CQ) in a user equipment receiving a point-to-multipoint service in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving configuration information for reporting of channel quality from a network, the configuration information corresponding to each of at least one uplink channel;

receiving a request message requesting to report the channel quality from the network; and

reporting the channel quality using configuration information corresponding to an uplink channel among the at least one uplink channel,

wherein the request message includes an indicator indicating the configuration information corresponding to the uplink channel to be used to report the channel quality.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the configuration information corresponding to an uplink channel is included in the request message.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the configuration information corresponding to each of at least one uplink channel is received during establishment of a radio bearer (RB) of the point-to-multipoint service.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the configuration information corresponding to each of at least one uplink channel includes information associated with at least one of a transmission period of reporting of the channel quality, the number of repetition of reporting of the channel quality, an valid duration of the configuration information corresponding to each of the uplink channel, and a time interval where the reporting of the channel quality will be performed.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein the configuration information corresponding to each of at least one uplink channel further includes allocation information of a corresponding uplink channel.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein the step of reporting of the channel quality comprises:

establishing the uplink channel using the allocation information; and

reporting the channel quality in accordance with the configuration information corresponding to the uplink channel on the established uplink channel.

7. The method of claim 4, wherein the configuration information corresponding to each of at least one uplink channel further includes a user equipment (UE) identifier identifying the user equipment and a service identifier identifying the point-to-multipoint service.
