Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method and apparatus for facilitating downlink data transmission in a TD-SCDMA system is provided. The method may comprise receiving, from a Node B, a channel quality indicator (CQI) request, wherein the CQI request is not associated with a payload transmission.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 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 instanc…
