Patent ID: 8649432

Claim:
A method for allowing a User Equipment (UE) in a wireless communication network to control a HSDPA downlink data rate received from a NodeB, said UE successively receiving blocks of data having a predetermined size, comprising the steps of: receiving one block of data; determining the size associated with said block of data; comparing the size of said block with at least a first threshold; if the size shows to be strictly superior than said first threshold, execute the following steps: storing said block; issuing a NACK message to said NodeB; accessing a Look-Up-Table (LUT) with the value of said first threshold as an input and extracting a corresponding CQI value (CQI_LUT); and reporting a CQI value to said NodeB, said CQI value being derived from a CQI measured by the UE and said corresponding CQI value (CQI_LUT).
