Adaptive generation of channel quality indicators (CQIs) based on a current communication scenario

A method performed by wireless user equipment (UE), the method comprising:

• determining a current communication scenario of the UE during operation of the UE;
• selecting a first set of communication scenario information based on the determined current communication scenario of the UE, wherein the first set of communication scenario information is selected from a stored plurality of sets of communication scenario information, wherein each set of communication scenario information corresponds to a respective UE communication scenario;
• determining a current channel estimation for the UE;
• generating at least one channel quality indicator based on the selected first set of communication scenario information and based on the current channel estimation for the UE, wherein the current channel estimation is used to generate the channel quality indicator for each of the communication scenarios;
• and
• transmitting the channel quality indicator to a base station.

A non-transitory computer-accessible memory medium storing program instructions, wherein the program instructions, when executed by a computer system, cause the computer system to:

• determine a current communication scenario of a user equipment (UE) the UE during operation of the UE;
• select a first set of communication scenario information based on the determined current communication scenario of the UE, wherein the first set of communication scenario information is selected from a stored plurality of sets of communication scenario information, wherein each set of communication scenario information corresponds to a respective UE communication scenario;
• determine a current channel estimation for the UE;
• and
• generate at least one channel quality indicator based on the selected first set of communication scenario information and based on the current channel estimation for the UE, wherein the current channel estimation is used to generate the channel quality indicator for each of the communication scenarios;
• wherein the channel quality indicator is configured to be transmitted to a base station.
