Patent ID: 8531982

Claim:
An apparatus, comprising: a channel quality indicator (CQI) determination logic configured to compute a quality of service (QoS) aware CQI as a function of a QoS associated with a wireless channel over which a first wireless communication apparatus and a second wireless communication apparatus communicate, wherein the QoS-aware CQI is computed by: (i) computing candidate CQIs using one or more QoS parameters associated with one or more different QoSs, and (ii) selecting the QoS-aware CQI from the candidate CQIs, wherein the QoS-aware CQI is selected to optimize one or more communication objectives; and a CQI report logic configured to report the QoS-aware CQI, in a CQI report message, to a wireless communication apparatus that requested the QoS-aware CQI in a CQI request message.
