Abstract
An approach is provided for reporting channel state information. The network configures parameters relating to periodic reporting of channel state information and generates a resource allocation message including a flag to enable or disable the reporting of channel state information in a subframe configured for periodic reporting.
Claims18
A method, comprising:
- configuring one or more parameters, including reporting periodicity, subframe offset and channel state information mode, relating to periodic reporting of channel state information by a user equipment;
- generating a resource allocation message including a flag to enable or disable the reporting of the channel state information in a subframe configured for periodic reporting or aperiodic reporting;
- and
- initiating transmission of the resource allocation message to the user equipment, wherein configuration information for the one or more parameters is transmitted using a higher layer signaling protocol including radio resource control.
An apparatus comprising a processor and a memory storing executable instructions that if executed cause the apparatus to at least perform the following:
- configuring one or more parameters, including reporting periodicity, subframe offset and channel state information mode, relating to periodic reporting of channel state information by a user equipment;
- generating a resource allocation message including a flag to enable or disable the reporting of the channel state information in a subframe configured for periodic reporting or aperiodic reporting;
- and
- initiating transmission of the resource allocation message to the user equipment, wherein configuration information for the one or more parameters is transmitted using a higher layer signaling protocol including radio resource control.
A method, comprising:
- receiving configuration information, from a base station, for one or more parameters, including reporting periodicity, subframe offset and channel state information mode, relating to periodic reporting of channel state information;
- receiving a resource allocation message including a flag to enable or disable the reporting of the channel state information in a subframe configured for periodic reporting or aperiodic reporting;
- determining the channel state information according to the configuration information;
- and
- initiating reporting of the channel state information to the base station according to the flag, wherein configuration information for the one or more parameters is received via a higher layer signaling protocol including radio resource control.
An apparatus comprising a processor and a memory storing executable instructions that if executed cause the apparatus to at least perform the following:
- receiving configuration information, from a base station, for one or more parameters, including reporting periodicity, subframe offset and channel state information mode, relating to periodic reporting of channel state information;
- receiving a resource allocation message including a flag to enable or disable the reporting of the channel state information in a subframe configured for periodic reporting or aperiodic reporting;
- determining the channel state information according to the configuration information;
- and
- initiating reporting of the channel state information to the base station according to the flag, wherein configuration information for the one or more parameters is received via a higher layer signaling protocol including radio resource control.
An apparatus comprising:
- means for receiving configuration information, from a base station, for one or more parameters, including reporting periodicity, subframe offset and channel state information mode, relating to periodic reporting of channel state information;
- means for receiving a resource allocation message including a flag to enable or disable the reporting of the channel state information in a subframe configured for periodic reporting or aperiodic reporting;
- means for determining the channel state information according to the configuration information;
- and
- means for initiating reporting of the channel state information to the base station according to the flag, wherein configuration information for the one or more parameters is received via a higher layer signaling protocol including radio resource control.
