Claim Text:
1. A method for transmitting a channel quality indicator (CQI) when a wireless transmit/receive unit (VVTRU) is sending uplink transmissions periodically, the method comprising: receiving by the WTRU an indicator of a first period between CQI reporting via radio resource control signaling from a wireless network; monitoring a status of downlink transmissions by the WTRU; wherein the WTRU monitors at least one high speed shared control channel (HS-SCCH) for high speed downlink packet access (HSDPA) transmissions for the WTRU and the WTRU determines whether a number of transmission time intervals (TTIs) having no HSDPA transmissions for the WTRU from a last HSDPA transmission for the WTRU exceeds a first number; and in response to the number of TTIs having no HSDPA transmission not exceeding the first number, transmitting by the WTRU CQI once every first period and in response to the number of TTIs having no HSDPA transmissions exceeding the first number, transmitting by the WTRU CQI less often than once every first period.
