Abstract
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.
Claims24
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 instance after the CQI request is received.
1 more element
An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
- means for receiving, from a Node B, a CQI request, wherein the CQI request is associated with a payload ID set to zero;
- means for 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
- means for transmitting the CQI response to the Node B at a defined time instance after the CQI request is received.
1 more element
A computer program product, comprising:
- a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising code for:
- receiving, from a Node B, a 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 instance after the CQI request is received.
2 more elements
An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
- a receiver configured to receive, from a Node B, a CQI request, wherein the CQI request is associated with a payload ID set to zero;
- at least one processor;
- and
- a memory coupled to the at least one processor,
- wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
- generate 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
- a transmitter configured to transmit the CQI response to the Node B at a defined time instance after the CQI request is received.
