Abstract
In transmitting channel quality information (CQI) by a mobile station (MS) in a communication system, the mobile station receives from a base station (BS) information of an allocation of a CQI channel and information as to a modulation to be performed on the CQI. CQI channel signal is generated based on the CQI and the modulation information, where the CQI corresponds to a measured channel state. The CQI channel signal is transmitted to the BS over the allocated CQI channel.
Claims7
An apparatus for receiving channel quality information (CQI) by a base station in a communication system, the apparatus comprising:
- a transmitter transmitting a CQI channel allocation information and a CQI modulation information to a mobile station (MS);
- a receiver receiving a CQI channel signal from the MS on a CQI channel, the CQI channel being allocated to the MS and the CQI channel signal indicating CQI as measured by the MS;
- and
- a channel receiver demodulating the CQI based on (i) a correlation performed on the CQI channel signal and (ii) the CQI modulation information;
- wherein the CQI modulation information includes information indicating an allocated modulation vector sequence set among allocable modulation vector sequence sets, each of the allocable modulation vector sequence sets includes modulation vector sequences, each of the modulation vector sequences includes modulation vectors, and information as to an offset to be applied to the allocated modulation vector sequence set;
- wherein the channel receiver demodulates the CQI based on the offset.
