Including feedback information regarding an individual subband of a wireless channel

A base station comprising:

• an interface to communicate wirelessly over a wireless channel with a mobile station;
• and
• a processor to:
• use aggregate feedback information regarding plural subbands;
• determine an indication of whether the mobile station is slow moving;
• wherein determining the indication that the mobile station is slow moving is based on a parameter of the aggregate feedback information regarding plural subbands included in a prior report received by the base station having not changed;
• in response to determining the indication that the mobile station is slow moving, using individual feedback information for an individual subband of plural subbands of the wireless channel;
• and
• in response to determining the indication that the mobile station is not slow moving, using aggregate feedback information for the plural subbands.

A mobile station comprising:

• an interface to communicate wirelessly over a wireless channel with a base station;
• and
• a processor to:
• determine an indication of whether the mobile station is slow moving;
• wherein determining the indication that the mobile station is slow moving is based on a parameter of aggregate feedback information regarding plural subbands included in a prior report sent to the base station having not changed;
• in response to determining the indication that the mobile station is slow moving, include, in a first report to be sent to a base station, individual feedback information regarding an individual one of plural subbands of the wireless channel;
• and
• in response to determining the indication that the mobile station is not slow moving, including, in a second report to be sent to the base station, aggregate feedback information regarding the plural subbands.

A base station comprising:

• an interface to communicate wirelessly over a wireless channel with a mobile station;
• and
• a processor to:
• in response to determining an indication that the mobile station is slow moving:
• send a control indication to the mobile station to cause the mobile station to send individual feedback information regarding at least one individual subband of plural subbands of a wireless channel;
• and
• receive at least one message from the mobile station containing the individual feedback information that is responsive to the control indication;
• and
• in response to determining the indication that the mobile station is not slow moving, send another control indication to the mobile station to cause the mobile station to send aggregate feedback information for the plural subbands;
• and
• wherein determining the indication that the mobile station is slow moving is based on a parameter of aggregate feedback information regarding plural subbands included in a prior report received by the base station having not changed.

A mobile station comprising:

• an interface to communicate wirelessly over a wireless channel with a base station;
• and
• a processor to:
• receive a control indication from the base station to indicate that individual feedback information regarding at least one individual subband of plural subbands of a wireless channel is to be sent, wherein the control indication is received in response to a determination by the base station of an indication that the mobile station is slow moving;
• in response to the control indication, send at least one message to the base station containing the individual feedback information;
• and
• receive another control indication from the base station to cause the mobile station to send aggregate feedback information for the plural subbands, wherein the another control indication is in response to a determination by the base station of an indication that the mobile station is not slow moving;
• wherein the determination of the indication that the mobile station is slow moving is based on a parameter of aggregate feedback information regarding plural subbands included in a prior report sent to the base station having not changed.
