Description
技术领域 technical field
本发明涉及一种移动单元,并且特别地,涉及一种适应性传送信道质量指示的方法及应用该方法的移动单元。The present invention relates to a mobile unit, and in particular, to a method of adaptively transmitting a channel quality indication and a mobile unit applying the method.
背景技术 Background technique
近年来,由于移动通讯技术发展得相当迅速,因此在市面上有许多崭新的移动通讯功能陆续地被推出。例如在第三代移动通讯(3G)系统中,无线因特网的数据存取即为其主要的应用项目之一。该无线因特网的数据流量的特性属于非对称性,也就是说,该无线因特网的数据传输大部份均属于由该无线因特网下传至一使用者设备(User Equipment,UE)。相较之下,由该使用者设备上传至该无线因特网的数据传输所占的比例就显得相当小。In recent years, due to the rapid development of mobile communication technology, many new mobile communication functions have been launched in the market one after another. For example, in the third generation mobile communication (3G) system, the data access of the wireless Internet is one of its main application items. The characteristics of the data traffic of the wireless Internet are asymmetric, that is to say, most of the data transmission of the wireless Internet is downlinked from the wireless Internet to a user equipment (UE). In comparison, the proportion of data transmission uploaded by the user equipment to the wireless Internet is quite small.
为了要符合此以下传为主的特性,并提升该移动通讯系统的数据传输的速度,采用高速下行封包存取(High Speed Downlink PacketAccess,HSDPA)协议的第三点五代移动通讯(3.5G)技术因此被提出。在不需要改变原本已存在的宽带多重分码存取(WidebandCode Division Multiple Access,WCDMA)的网络架构的情况下,此技术可将全球移动通讯系统(Universal Mobile Telephone System,UMTS)的下行封包传输速度提升至14.4Mbps。In order to comply with the downlink-based characteristics and improve the data transmission speed of the mobile communication system, the third and fifth generation mobile communication (3.5G) using the High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) protocol technology is thus proposed. Without changing the existing WidebandCode Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) network architecture, this technology can increase the downlink packet transmission speed of the Universal Mobile Telephone System (UMTS) That boosts to 14.4Mbps.
根据现行的HSDPA规范,每一使用者设备均须测量自己与基站之间的下行信道质量,并且据此选择出适当的信道质量指示(Channel Quality Indicator,CQI)。该CQI即可用以代表该使用者设备与该基站之间的传输信道质量。According to the current HSDPA specification, each user equipment must measure the downlink channel quality between itself and the base station, and select an appropriate channel quality indicator (Channel Quality Indicator, CQI) accordingly. The CQI can be used to represent the quality of the transmission channel between the UE and the base station.
通过一高速实体下行共享传输通道(High Speed PhysicalDownlink Shared channel,HS-PDSCH),该使用者设备可周期性地对该基站回报上述CQI。若使用者设备回报CQI的周期愈短(也就是回报CQI的次数愈频繁),基站即可更精确地估算该使用者设备与该基站之间的下行通道状态,进而适当地调整传送下行数据的设定。Through a high speed physical downlink shared transmission channel (High Speed Physical Downlink Shared channel, HS-PDSCH), the user equipment can periodically report the above CQI to the base station. If the period for the user equipment to report the CQI is shorter (that is, the number of times the CQI is reported more frequently), the base station can more accurately estimate the state of the downlink channel between the user equipment and the base station, and then appropriately adjust the transmission of downlink data. set up.
然而,若使用者设备回报CQI的次数过于频繁,对该移动通讯系统而言,其实并不见得有所帮助。这是因为如果CQI回报的次数过多,很可能会对该使用者设备与该基站之间数据的上行传输造成干扰。尤其是当该使用者设备与该基站之间的信道状态逐渐趋于稳定时,也就是说,当该信道的信道质量指示值几乎维持不变时,若使用者设备还继续周期性地回报该CQI,反而会对该使用者设备的电力造成相当大的浪费。However, if the number of times that the user equipment reports the CQI is too frequent, it may not be helpful to the mobile communication system. This is because if the CQI is reported too many times, it may cause interference to the uplink transmission of data between the UE and the base station. Especially when the channel state between the UE and the base station gradually tends to be stable, that is, when the CQI value of the channel remains almost unchanged, if the UE continues to periodically report the The CQI, on the contrary, will cause considerable waste of the electric power of the user equipment.
为了解决上述问题,当前已有许多解决方式被提出。某些现有技术采用基于通讯活动(activity-based)而非基于固定周期的回报机制。举例而言,有些使用者设备在每一次传送确认(ACK)及负面确认(NACK)信息时一并传送CQI,也有些使用者设备固定在每一次传送负面确认(NACK)信息时一并传送CQI。这类现有技术的缺点在于相当耗费电力。In order to solve the above problems, many solutions have been proposed at present. Some existing technologies use an activity-based rather than a fixed-period based reward mechanism. For example, some user equipments transmit CQI every time they transmit acknowledgment (ACK) and negative acknowledgment (NACK) information, and some user equipments always transmit CQI every time they transmit negative acknowledgment (NACK) information . A disadvantage of this type of prior art is that it is rather power intensive.
另一方面,有一种现有技术在CQI的变化大于某个门坎值时才回报CQI。换句话说,只有当新的CQI与先前回报的CQI差异甚大时,使用者设备才会向基站回报该新的CQI。此技术的确可以明显减少信道质量指示值回报次数。然而,此方法的最大缺点在于,该基站并未实时根据可能不断变动的CQI调整其传输设定。在收到新的CQI之前,该基站可能一直采用了错误的CQI。On the other hand, there is an existing technology that reports the CQI only when the change of the CQI is greater than a certain threshold. In other words, only when the new CQI is very different from the previously reported CQI, the UE will report the new CQI to the base station. This technology can indeed significantly reduce the number of CQI value reports. However, the biggest disadvantage of this method is that the base station does not adjust its transmission settings in real time according to the possibly changing CQI. The base station may have been using the wrong CQI until it receives a new CQI.
综合上面所述,现有的技术各自存在某些缺点,均未能提供完善的解决方案。因此,本发明的主要目的在于提供一种适应性传送信道质量指示的方法及应用该方法的移动单元,以解决上述问题。Based on the above, the existing technologies each have some shortcomings, and none of them can provide a perfect solution. Therefore, the main purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for adaptively transmitting CQI and a mobile unit using the method, so as to solve the above problems.

具体实施方式 Detailed ways
根据本发明的第一具体实施例一种自移动单元将信道质量指示适应性传送至基站的方法。请参照图1,图1为该方法的流程图。如图1所示,该方法执行步骤S11,决定当前信道质量指示。另一方面,该方法执行步骤S12,自该基站将封包传送至该移动单元,并检测该封包是否正确地被接收。在步骤S11之后,该方法执行步骤S13,比较该当前信道质量指示与先前信道质量指示。最后,该方法执行步骤S14,根据步骤S12的检测结果及步骤S13的比较结果,决定是否将该当前信道质量指示传送至该基站。According to a first embodiment of the present invention, a method for adaptively transmitting a channel quality indication from a mobile unit to a base station. Please refer to FIG. 1 , which is a flowchart of the method. As shown in Fig. 1, the method executes step S11 to determine the current channel quality indicator. On the other hand, the method executes step S12 of transmitting the packet from the base station to the mobile unit, and checking whether the packet is received correctly. After step S11, the method executes step S13, comparing the current CQI with the previous CQI. Finally, the method executes step S14, and determines whether to transmit the current channel quality indication to the base station according to the detection result of step S12 and the comparison result of step S13.
在实际应用中,该封包通常通过至少一通道被传送至该移动单元。该移动单元中可通过周期性地评估该至少一信道产生该当前信道质量指示。此外,该移动单元可通过HSDPA协议与该基站沟通。值得注意的是,由于该方法根据该封包是否正确地被接收及比较信道质量指示来决定该当前信道质量指示是否应被传送至该基站,这和现有技术所采取的方式有很大的不同。In practice, the packet is usually sent to the mobile unit through at least one channel. The current channel quality indication can be generated in the mobile unit by periodically evaluating the at least one channel. Additionally, the mobile unit can communicate with the base station via the HSDPA protocol. It should be noted that, since this method determines whether the current CQI should be sent to the base station according to whether the packet is received correctly and compares the CQI, it is quite different from the method adopted in the prior art .
在实际应用中,该移动单元可采用以电路或程序实现的计数器来记录信道质量指示变动的状况。In practical application, the mobile unit may use a counter realized by a circuit or a program to record the change of the channel quality indicator.
该方法的步骤S14可根据步骤S12的检测结果及步骤S13的比较结果,分成几种情形来探讨。首先,考虑步骤S12的检测结果为该封包正确地被接收的情形。如图2所示,步骤S140比较该当前信道质量指示与该先前信道质量指示,并且可能产生三种比较结果。Step S14 of the method can be divided into several situations for discussion according to the detection result of step S12 and the comparison result of step S13. First, consider the situation that the detection result of step S12 is that the packet is received correctly. As shown in FIG. 2, step S140 compares the current CQI with the previous CQI, and may generate three comparison results.
第一种可能的情形是,若该当前信道质量指示大于该先前信道质量指示,则该方法执行步骤S141,以该当前信道质量指示取代该先前信道质量指示。接着,该方法执行步骤S146,增加第一计数。之后,该方法执行步骤S147,判断该增加后的第一计数是否等于第一临界值。若步骤S147的判断结果为是,也就是该增加后的第一计数等于该第一临界值,则该方法执行步骤S142,传送该当前信道质量指示至该基站。若步骤S147的判断结果为否,则该方法执行步骤S151,该当前信道质量指示不会被传送至该基站。The first possible situation is that if the current CQI is greater than the previous CQI, the method executes step S141 to replace the previous CQI with the current CQI. Next, the method executes step S146 to increase the first count. Afterwards, the method executes step S147 to determine whether the increased first count is equal to the first critical value. If the judging result of step S147 is yes, that is, the increased first count is equal to the first critical value, then the method executes step S142 to transmit the current channel quality indicator to the base station. If the judging result of step S147 is no, the method executes step S151, and the current channel quality indicator will not be sent to the base station.
第二种可能的情形是,若该当前信道质量指示小于该先前信道质量指示,则该方法执行步骤S143,减少该第一计数。举例而言,步骤S143可将用以计数该第一计数的计数器归零。The second possible situation is that if the current CQI is smaller than the previous CQI, then the method executes step S143 to decrease the first count. For example, step S143 may reset the counter used to count the first count to zero.
第三种可能的情形是,若该当前信道质量指示等于该先前信道质量指示,则该方法执行步骤S144,判断该当前信道质量指示是否等于最大值。若步骤S144的判断结果为该当前信道质量指示小于该最大值,该方法执行步骤S145,维持第一计数。The third possible situation is that if the current CQI is equal to the previous CQI, then the method executes step S144 to judge whether the current CQI is equal to the maximum value. If the judging result of step S144 is that the current channel quality indicator is smaller than the maximum value, the method executes step S145 to maintain the first count.
另一方面,若步骤S144的判断结果为该当前信道质量指示等于该最大值,该方法执行步骤S146,增加该第一计数。之后,该方法执行步骤S147,判断该增加后的第一计数是否等于该第一临界值。若步骤S147的判断结果为是,也就是该增加后的第一计数等于该第一临界值,则该方法执行步骤S142,传送该当前信道质量指示至该基站。若步骤S147的判断结果为否,则该方法执行步骤S151,该当前信道质量指示不会被传送至该基站。On the other hand, if the judging result of step S144 is that the current channel quality indicator is equal to the maximum value, the method executes step S146 to increase the first count. Afterwards, the method executes step S147 to determine whether the increased first count is equal to the first critical value. If the judging result of step S147 is yes, that is, the increased first count is equal to the first critical value, then the method executes step S142 to transmit the current channel quality indication to the base station. If the judging result of step S147 is no, the method executes step S151, and the current channel quality indicator will not be sent to the base station.
举例而言,若一手机通过HSDPA协议与基站沟通,且封包由该基站经由多个通道传送至该手机。假设该封包正确地被该手机所接收,则根据本发明的方法比较当前信道质量指示CQI_1与先前信道质量指示CQI_0,以决定是否传送当前信道质量指示CQI_1至该基站。For example, if a mobile phone communicates with a base station through the HSDPA protocol, and packets are sent from the base station to the mobile phone through multiple channels. Assuming that the packet is correctly received by the mobile phone, the method according to the present invention compares the current CQI_1 with the previous CQI_0 to determine whether to send the current CQI_1 to the base station.
当CQI_1>CQI_0时,表示此时的信道质量较先前为佳。根据本发明,若此时第一计数C1=2,则C1可被增加为C1′=3,并且CQI_1可被用以取代CQI_0。接着,增加后的第一计数C1′会被判断是否等于第一临界值C1th。若C1th=C1′=3,也就是增加后的第一计数C1′等于第一临界值,则CQI_1即会被传送至该基站。When CQI_1>CQI_0, it means that the channel quality at this time is better than before. According to the present invention, if the first count C1=2 at this time, then C1 can be increased to C1'=3, and CQI_1 can be used to replace CQI_0. Then, whether the incremented first count C1' is equal to the first critical value C1 th is judged. If C1 th =C1'=3, that is, the increased first count C1' is equal to the first critical value, then CQI_1 will be sent to the base station.
当CQI_1=CQI_0时,表示此时的信道质量与先前相同。根据本发明,在此情形下,CQI_1将被判断是否等于最大值CQImax。若判断结果为CQI_1<CQImax,代表CQI_1尚未到达该最大值,假设第一计数C1=2,则C1=2维持不变。若判断结果为CQI_1=CQImax,代表CQI_1已经到达该最大值,此时第一计数C1=2可被增加为C1′=3。接着被增加的第一计数C1′也会被判断是否等于第一临界值C1th。若C1th=C1′=3,CQI_1即会被传送至该基站。When CQI_1=CQI_0, it means that the channel quality at this time is the same as before. According to the present invention, in this case, CQI — 1 will be judged whether it is equal to the maximum value CQI max . If the judgment result is CQI_1<CQI max , it means that CQI_1 has not reached the maximum value, and assuming that the first count C1=2, then C1=2 remains unchanged. If the judgment result is CQI_1=CQI max , it means that CQI_1 has reached the maximum value, and at this time, the first count C1=2 can be increased to C1′=3. Then the incremented first count C1 ′ is also judged whether it is equal to the first critical value C1 th . If C1 th =C1'=3, CQI_1 will be sent to the base station.
当CQI_1<CQI_0时,表示信道质量指示CQI变小,也就是信道质量变差。此时,第一计数C1=2会被减少为C1"=1。由于第一计数C1被减少,因此第一计数并无法达到第一临界值C1th=3,也就是说,在CQI_1<CQI_0的情形下,CQI_1并不会被传送至该基站。When CQI_1<CQI_0, it means that the channel quality indicator CQI becomes smaller, that is, the channel quality becomes worse. At this time, the first count C1=2 will be reduced to C1"=1. Since the first count C1 is reduced, the first count cannot reach the first critical value C1 th =3, that is, when CQI_1<CQI_0 In the case of , CQI_1 will not be sent to the base station.
综合上述情形,当该手机所接收的封包为正确时,当前信道质量指示CQI_1会被传送至基站的情形共有两种。第一种情形是当CQI_1>CQI_0且第一计数C1被增加至临界值C1th时。另一种情形是当CQI_1=CQI_0=CQImax且第一计数C1被增加至临界值C1th时。此两种情形的共通点在于只有当第一计数C1被增加至临界值C1th时,CQI_1才会被传送至该基站。如此可避免在现有技术中,由于过多的信道质量指示值回报所造成的电力的浪费及无谓的干扰。Based on the above situations, when the received packet of the mobile phone is correct, the current channel quality indicator CQI_1 will be sent to the base station in two situations. The first case is when CQI_1>CQI_0 and the first count C1 is increased to the threshold C1 th . Another situation is when CQI_1=CQI_0=CQI max and the first count C1 is increased to the critical value C1 th . The common point of these two situations is that only when the first count C1 is increased to the threshold C1 th , the CQI_1 will be sent to the base station. In this way, the waste of power and unnecessary interference caused by too many CQI returns in the prior art can be avoided.
接下来,考虑该移动单元所接收的该封包不正确的情形,根据该信道质量指示与该先前信道质量指示的比较结果,如图3所示,若该封包不正确,该方法也首先执行步骤S140,比较该当前信道质量指示与该先前信道质量指示,并且也可能产生三种比较结果。Next, consider the situation that the packet received by the mobile unit is incorrect, according to the comparison result of the channel quality indicator and the previous channel quality indicator, as shown in Figure 3, if the packet is incorrect, the method also first executes the steps S140. Compare the current CQI with the previous CQI, and possibly generate three comparison results.
第一种可能的比较结果是,若该当前信道质量指示小于该先前信道质量指示,该方法执行步骤S141,以该当前信道质量指示取代该先前信道质量指示。这种信道质量指示变小但计数却增加的情形与该封包正确时,计数随信道质量指示变大而增加的情形刚好相反。接着,该方法执行步骤S1461,增加第二计数。之后,该方法执行步骤S1471,判断该增加后的第二计数是否等于该第二临界值。若该增加后的第二计数等于该第二临界值,则该方法执行步骤S148,传送该当前信道质量指示及负面确认(NACK)信息至该基站。若步骤S1471的判断结果为否,也就是该增加后的第二计数小于该第二临界值,则该方法执行步骤S151,不传送该当前信道质量指示至该基站。The first possible comparison result is that if the current CQI is smaller than the previous CQI, the method executes step S141, replacing the previous CQI with the current CQI. The situation that the CQI becomes smaller but the count increases is just opposite to the situation that the count increases as the CQI becomes larger when the packet is correct. Next, the method executes step S1461 to increase the second count. Afterwards, the method executes step S1471 to determine whether the increased second count is equal to the second critical value. If the increased second count is equal to the second critical value, then the method executes step S148, sending the current channel quality indicator and negative acknowledgment (NACK) information to the base station. If the judgment result of step S1471 is no, that is, the second incremented count is smaller than the second critical value, then the method executes step S151, and does not transmit the current channel quality indicator to the base station.
第二种可能的比较结果是,若该当前信道质量指示大于该先前信道质量指示,则该方法执行步骤S149,减少第二计数并决定不传送该当前信道质量指示至该基站。举例而言,该第二计数可能被归零。这种情况表示,即使封包错误,但当前的信道质量较先前为佳,该当前信道质量指示并不会被传送至该基站。The second possible comparison result is that if the current CQI is greater than the previous CQI, then the method executes step S149 to decrease the second count and decide not to transmit the current CQI to the base station. For example, the second count may be zeroed. This situation means that even if the packet is wrong, but the current channel quality is better than before, the current channel quality indicator will not be sent to the base station.
第三种可能的比较结果是,若该当前信道质量指示等于该先前信道质量指示,由于信道质量维持不变,则该方法执行步骤S150,维持该先前信道质量指示。A third possible comparison result is that if the current CQI is equal to the previous CQI, since the channel quality remains unchanged, the method executes step S150 to maintain the previous CQI.
举例而言,若一手机通过HSDPA协议与基站沟通,且封包由该基站经由多个通道传送至该手机。假设该手机所接收的该封包不正确,则根据本发明的方法,比较当前信道质量指示CQI_1与先前信道质量指示CQI_0。For example, if a mobile phone communicates with a base station through the HSDPA protocol, and packets are sent from the base station to the mobile phone through multiple channels. Assuming that the packet received by the mobile phone is incorrect, according to the method of the present invention, the current CQI_1 is compared with the previous CQI_0.
当CQI_1>CQI_0时,由于该封包并不正确,所以第二计数C2=2可被减少为C2"=1并且CQI_1被决定不传送至该基站。这是由于第二计数C2被减少为1,并无法达到第二临界值C2th=3,因此CQI_1不会被传送至该基站。When CQI_1>CQI_0, because the packet is incorrect, the second count C2=2 can be reduced to C2"=1 and CQI_1 is decided not to be transmitted to the base station. This is because the second count C2 is reduced to 1, The second threshold C2 th =3 cannot be reached, so CQI_1 will not be transmitted to the base station.
当CQI_1=CQI_0时,表示信道质量维持不变。因此,此时的信道质量指示维持为先前信道质量指示不变,也就是CQI=CQI_0=CQI_1。When CQI_1=CQI_0, it means that the channel quality remains unchanged. Therefore, the CQI at this time remains unchanged from the previous CQI, that is, CQI=CQI_0=CQI_1.
当CQI_1<CQI_0时,由于该封包并不正确,第二计数C2=2可被增加为C2′=3并且CQI_1可被用以取代CQI_0。接着,被增加的C2′会被判断是否等于第二临界值C2th。若C2th=C2′=3,也就是说,当第二计数被增加至第二临界值时,CQI_1及负面确认(NACK)信息即会被传送至该基站。When CQI_1<CQI_0, since the packet is incorrect, the second count C2=2 can be increased to C2'=3 and CQI_1 can be used instead of CQI_0. Then, it is judged whether the added C2' is equal to the second critical value C2 th . If C2 th =C2'=3, that is, when the second count is increased to the second threshold, CQI_1 and negative acknowledgment (NACK) information will be sent to the base station.
综合上述情形,当该手机所接收的该封包为不正确且第二计数被增加至第二临界值时,该当前信道质量指示会被传送至基站。通过将封包的正确性纳入考虑,根据本发明的方法及移动单元可避免某些现有技术未实时修正信道质量指示的问题。Based on the above circumstances, when the packet received by the mobile phone is incorrect and the second count is increased to the second threshold, the current channel quality indicator will be sent to the base station. By taking the correctness of the packet into consideration, the method and the mobile unit according to the present invention can avoid some problems of the prior art that the CQI is not corrected in real time.

接下来所讨论的是第二判断单元114的两种可能的判断结果。第一种可能的判断结果是第二判断单元114的判断结果为该当前信道质量指示小于该最大值,则第一计数器111可维持第一计数,且决定单元113决定不传送该当前信道质量指示至该基站。这是由于信道质量指示维持不变且尚未达到该最大值,因此该第一计数维持不变。What is discussed next are two possible judgment results of the
第二种可能情形是第二判断单元114的判断结果为该当前信道质量指示等于该最大值,则第一计数器111可增加该第一计数。由于该第一计数被增加,为了判断该增加后的第一计数是否等于第一临界值,收发器11可进一步包含第一判断单元112。若第一判断单元112的判断结果为该增加后的第一计数等于该第一临界值,则决定单元113决定传送该当前信道质量指示至该基站。这是由于信道质量指示维持不变且已达到该最大值,所以第一计数器111可增加该第一计数。当该第一计数被增加至临界值时,该当前信道质量指示即可被传送至该基站。The second possible situation is that the
此外,如图5所示,当该封包为正确且该当前信道质量指示小于该先前信道质量指示时,收发器11可包含第一计数器111及决定单元113。由于信道质量指示变小,因此第一计数器111减少第一计数。决定单元113决定不传送该当前信道质量指示至该基站。In addition, as shown in FIG. 5 , when the packet is correct and the current CQI is smaller than the previous CQI, the
除了上述收发器11所接收的该封包为正确的三种可能情形外,图5还同时显示该封包为不正确时的三种可能情形。第一种可能情形是,若该信道质量指示小于该先前信道质量指示,则收发器11可包含第二计数器115、第一判断单元112及决定单元113。第二计数器115可增加第二计数并以该当前信道质量指示取代该先前信道质量指示。第一判断单元112可用以判断该增加后的第二计数是否等于第二临界值。若第一判断单元112的判断结果为该增加后的第二计数等于该第二临界值,决定单元113决定传送该当前信道质量指示及负面确认(NACK)信息至该基站。In addition to the above three possible situations in which the packet received by the
第二种可能情形是,若该当前信道质量指示大于该先前信道质量指示时,收发器11可包含第二计数器115及决定单元113。第二计数器115可减少第二计数,而决定单元113决定不传送该信道质量指示至该基站。The second possible situation is that if the current CQI is greater than the previous CQI, the
第三种可能情形是若该当前信道质量指示等于该先前信道质量指示时,表示信道质量维持不变,因此收发器11维持该先前信道质量指示不变。The third possibility is that if the current CQI is equal to the previous CQI, it means that the channel quality remains unchanged, so the
相较于现有技术,根据本发明的适应性传送信道质量指示的方法及应用该方法的移动单元并非周期性地或固定于传送某些通讯信息时回报信道质量指示,而是一并考虑封包的正确性及信道质量指示的变动状况来决定是否将信道质量指示传送至该基站。如此可避免过多的信道质量指示值回报所造成的过度消耗电力及造成无谓干扰的问题。此外,由于根据本发明的方法及移动单元也考虑到封包的正确性,因此也可避免某些现有技术未实时修正信道质量指示的问题。Compared with the prior art, the method for adaptively transmitting CQI according to the present invention and the mobile unit applying the method do not periodically or fixedly report CQI when transmitting certain communication information, but consider packet The correctness of the CQI and the variation of the CQI are used to determine whether to transmit the CQI to the base station. In this way, excessive power consumption and unnecessary interference caused by too many CQI reports can be avoided. In addition, because the method and the mobile unit according to the present invention also consider the correctness of the packet, it can also avoid the problem of not correcting the CQI in real time in some prior art.
