Patent ID: 8103218

Claim:
A method operated by a base station, comprising: receiving a long-term signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) and a channel quality indicator (CQI) from each subscriber station of a plurality of subscriber stations; determining a reference signal to interference plus noise ratio (Ref_SINR) for the each subscriber station; determining a target fairness factor (TFF) for the each subscriber station, wherein the target fairness factor represents a ratio of resources targeted for the each subscriber station to resources that the base station has; determining a real fairness factor (RFF) for the each subscriber station, wherein the real fairness factor represents a ratio of resources that have been assigned to the each subscriber station to the resources that the base station has; and calculating a pseudo CQI for the each subscriber station based on the CQI, SINR, Ref_SINR, TFF and RFF for the each subscriber station.
