Patent ID: 8089893

Claim:
A method for transmitting a ChannelMeasurementReport in a wireless communication system, comprising: generating a ChannelMeasurementReport message comprising an 8 bit MessageID field, a 12 bit PilotPN field that indicates a PilotPN of a sector for which a measurement was performed, a 2 bit CarrierID field that indicates a carrier on which the measurements are measurement was performed, a 40 bit StartPHYFrameNumber field that indicates a frame number of a PHYFrame where an access terminal made a first measurement reported in the message, an 8 bit MeasurementInterval field that indicates a number of PHYFrames between two or more measurements made by the access terminal, an 8 bit NumMeasurements field that indicates a number of measurements included in the message, and a 5 bit TapOffset field that indicates an offset for which a channel was measured, an 8 bit RealGain field that indicates a real component of a measured channel gain on a corresponding TapOffset and an 8 bit ImagGain field that indicates an imaginary component of the measured channel gain on the corresponding TapOffset; and transmitting the ChannelMeasurementReport message over a communication link.
