Patent ID: 7403513

Claim:
A method for transmitting pilot bits and CQI (Channel Quality Indicator) bits on an uplink channel, the CQI bits indicating channel quality of an HS-PDSCH (High Speed-Physical Downlink Shared CHannel) in a CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) communication system having a Node B for controlling power of a high-speed uplink control channel, the system transmitting high-speed packet data from the Node-B to UE (User Equipment) through the HS-PDSCH, the UE being located in a handover area between the Node-B and another Node-B adjacent thereto, the method comprising the steps of: (a) receiving the CQI information and generating code symbols; (b) removing predetermined bits from the code symbols; and (c) replacing the removed bits with high-speed pilot bits for power control.
