Abstract:
1. A method of scheduling data transmissions between a mobile terminal and a base station in a wireless communications network arranged for the transmission of multiple system carrier signals, each system carrier providing for the transmission of signals in a predetermined frequency band around the carrier, the mobile terminal configured to receive information from the base station indicating available system carriers, the method comprising: detecting in the mobile terminal at least one dynamic parameter indicative of the mobile terminal's current capability to handle non-contiguous system carriers; determining in the mobile terminal from said at least one dynamic parameter whether a situation has occurred in which the mobile terminal's capability to handle non-contiguous system carriers has been reduced; modifying, if such a situation has occurred, feedback information to be transmitted to said base station to a level that is lower than an actual level of said feedback information; and transmitting the modified feedback information from said mobile terminal to said base station.
