Method and Apparatus for Transmitting CSI on the PUSCH in an LTE System

A method in a base station for configuring reporting Channel Status Indicator (CSI) of a User Equipment (UE) on a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) comprising the steps of:

• allocating uplink radio resources spanning over at least two sub frames to the UE by using an allocation method;
• providing information of the resource allocation to the UE;
• and
• providing at least an indication to the UE of a request for reporting CSI on the PUSCH in at least one UL transmission for which the allocation is valid.

A base station for configuring reporting Channel Status Indicator (CSI) related to a user equipment (UE), being adapted to be connected in a telecommunications system, said base station comprising:

• a scheduling unit adapted to allocate uplink (UL) radio resources spanning over at least two sub frames to the UE, using an allocation method;
• a configuration unit adapted to determine configuration of a UE to report CSI on a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH);
• and
• a transceiving unit adapted to transmit at least an indication of the determined configuration to the UE.

A method in a User Equipment (UE) for enabling providing reporting Channel Status Indicator (CSI) on a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) to a base station, comprising the steps of:

• obtaining information of a resource allocation from the base station, for which the radio resources span over at least two sub frames;
• obtaining at least an indication of a request for reporting CSI on the PUSCH in at least one transmission for which the allocation is valid;
• and
• reporting CSI on the PUSCH in at least one transmission for which the allocation is valid.

A user equipment (UE) configured for providing reporting Channel Status Indicator (CSI) on a physical uplink data channel, said UE comprising:

• a transceiving unit adapted to receive at least an indication of a request for reporting CSI on a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH);
• and
• a channel status determining unit, adapted to determine the CSI of radio resources;
• wherein the transceiving unit further is adapted to transmit a CSI report on the PUSCH, to the base station.
