A channel quality reporting method for use by a wireless terminal (203, 1300), the method comprising: measuring at least one of an amplitude or a phase of a first pilot signal corresponding to a first pilot tone to produce a first measured signal value; generating a first channel quality indicator value from the first measured signal value according to a first function which uses at least the first measured signal value as an input; transmitting the first channel quality indicator value, wherein transmitting the first channel quality indicator value includes: incorporating the first channel quality indicator value into a first message; and transmitting the first message over a wireless communications link; measuring at least one of an amplitude or a phase of a second pilot signal corresponding to a second pilot tone to produce a second measured signal value, the second pilot signal having a different transmission power than the first pilot signal; generating a second channel quality indicator value from the second measured signal value according to a second function which uses at least the second measured signal value as an input; and transmitting the second channel quality indicator value, wherein transmitting the second channel quality indicator value includes: incorporating the second channel quality indicator value into the first message; and transmitting the second channel quality indicator value with the first channel quality indicator value in the first message over the wireless communications link. measuring at least one of an amplitude or a phase of a first pilot signal corresponding to a first pilot tone to produce a first measured signal value; generating a first channel quality indicator value from the first measured signal value according to a first function which uses at least the first measured signal value as an input; transmitting the first channel quality indicator value, wherein transmitting the first channel quality indicator value includes: incorporating the first channel quality indicator value into a first message; and transmitting the first message over a wireless communications link; incorporating the first channel quality indicator value into a first message; and transmitting the first message over a wireless communications link; measuring at least one of an amplitude or a phase of a second pilot signal corresponding to a second pilot tone to produce a second measured signal value, the second pilot signal having a different transmission power than the first pilot signal; generating a second channel quality indicator value from the second measured signal value according to a second function which uses at least the second measured signal value as an input; and transmitting the second channel quality indicator value, wherein transmitting the second channel quality indicator value includes: incorporating the second channel quality indicator value into the first message; and transmitting the second channel quality indicator value with the first channel quality indicator value in the first message over the wireless communications link. incorporating the second channel quality indicator value into the first message; and transmitting the second channel quality indicator value with the first channel quality indicator value in the first message over the wireless communications link.
