Abstract
A method for operating a mobile equipment (ME 10) in a wireless network (12) includes receiving from a wireless network a parameter that is indicative of a signal quality experienced by the ME, such as by determining a speed of the ME; calculating in the ME an indication of link quality, the calculation employing a filtering operation having a filter length that is a function of the determined parameter, such as speed or derivative of the speed of the ME; and reporting the calculated indication of link quality to the wireless network. The wireless network derives an indication of ME speed and transmits the speed indication to the ME using a point-to-point message.
Claims28
A method comprising:
- receiving an indication of signal quality experienced by a particular mobile equipment;
- setting a finite length of a filter as a function of the received indication of signal quality;
- filtering a sequence of link quality measurement data using the finite length filter;
- and
- transmitting from the particular mobile equipment an indication of the filtered link quality measurement data.
An apparatus comprising:
- a receiver configured to receive an indication of signal quality experienced by a particular mobile equipment;
- a processor configured to implement a filter for filtering a sequence of link quality measurement data, said filter having a finite filter length that is a function of the received indication of signal quality;
- and
- a transmitter, coupled to the processor, configured to transmit an indication of the filtered link quality measurement data.
An apparatus comprising:
- receiving means for receiving an indication of signal quality experienced by a particular mobile equipment;
- processing means for implementing a filter for filtering a sequence of link quality measurement data, said filter having a finite filter length that is a function of said received indication of signal quality;
- and
- transmit means for transmitting an indication of the filtered link quality measurement data.
