First Claim
1. An apparatus for use in a wireless communication system, the apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor configured to;
receive an assignment of a control channel used to send reports,determine a reporting format based on the assignment of the control channel, the reporting format containing little or no overhead information, wherein the reporting format comprises predetermined report parameters,generate a set of reports for each of a plurality of reporting intervals, wherein generating the set of reports comprises;
determining a dictionary to use for a particular type of report from among multiple dictionaries available for the particular type, andgenerating reports of the particular type in accordance with the dictionary,scramble the set of reports for each of the plurality of reporting intervals with a scrambling sequence associated with the reporting format,arrange the set of reports for each of the plurality of reporting intervals in accordance with the reporting format, andsend a plurality of sets of reports in the plurality of reporting intervals; and
a memory coupled to the at least one processor.

Abstract
Techniques for efficiently sending reports in a wireless communication system are described. Reports may be sent repetitively in accordance with a reporting format. A terminal receives an assignment of a control channel used to send reports and determines a reporting format to use based on the assignment. The reporting format indicates a specific sequence of reports sent in specific locations of a control channel frame. The terminal generates a set of reports for each reporting interval and arranges the set of reports in accordance with the reporting format. The terminal repetitively sends a plurality of sets of reports in a plurality of reporting intervals. Reports may also be sent adaptively based on operating conditions. An appropriate reporting format may be selected based on the operating conditions of the terminal, which may be characterized by environment (e.g., mobility), capabilities, QoS, and/or other factors.
