Patent ID: 8588096

Claim:
Method for reporting, in a link quality report, link quality information from a link quality report sending station to a link quality report receiving station, wherein the link quality report receiving station is configured to use different modulation schemes for communicating to the link quality report sending station, wherein a modulation scheme is defined by at least a modulation and a symbol rate, said method comprising: depending on a priority of each of at least two of said different modulation schemes, selecting at least one of said at least two modulation schemes for inclusion of corresponding link quality information in said link quality report; said priority being the priority for inclusion of link quality information of the corresponding modulation scheme in said link quality report; the selected at least one modulation scheme being the modulation scheme(s) having the highest priority; and the priority of each of said at least two modulation schemes being determined depending on: (i) a link quality parameter value associated with the respective modulation scheme, said link quality parameter indicating a quality of a transmission using the respective modulation scheme from said link quality report receiving station to said link quality report sending station, (ii) a preference parameter associated with the modulation scheme, (iii) whether the modulation scheme has been used for signalling to the link quality report sending station or whether the modulation scheme has been used for transmitting payload to the link quality report sending station, and (iv) a reference value defining a range which is associated with the respective modulation scheme, for allowing the link quality report sending station to determine a priority of the modulation scheme for a link quality report depending on whether the link quality parameter value of the modulation scheme is within the range associated with the modulation scheme or whether the link quality parameter value of the modulation scheme is outside the range associated with the modulation scheme.
