Patent ID: 8787329

Claim:
A method for adjusting channel quality indicator (CQI) feedback, the method comprising: receiving, by a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU), a radio resource control (RRC) message including CQI configuration information; wherein the CQI configuration information indicates a number of transmission time intervals (TTIs) between CQI transmissions; transmitting CQI information in TTIs in response to the CQI configuration information; monitoring, by the WTRU, a physical layer downlink control channel; in response to information on the physical layer downlink control channel indicating a CQI command and including a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) masked with a WTRU identity associated with the WTRU, transmitting CQI information in a TTI in response to the CQI command received on the physical layer downlink control channel instead of the CQI configuration information received in the RRC message.
