Patent ID: 7933219

Claim:
A method of requesting a ChannelMeasurementReport in a wireless communication system, characterized in that: generating a ChannelMeasurementReportRequest message comprising an 8 bit MessageID field, a 12 bit PilotPN field wherein the PilotPN field is set to a PilotPN of a sector requesting a measurement report, a 2 bit CarrierID field wherein the CarrierID field is set to a carrier on which the measurement is requested, a 40 bit StartPHYFrame wherein the StartPHYFrame is set to a frame number of a PHYFrame where access terminals are required to begin measurements, a 3 bit NumChannels field wherein the NumChannels field is set to a number of channel to be measured, an 8 bit MeasurementsPerMessage field wherein the MeasurementsPerMessage determines a number of measurements to be included in one report message, and an 8 bit NumMeasurementsRequested field wherein the NumMeasurementsRequested determines a total number of measurements to be made by access terminal; and transmitting the ChannelMeasurementReportRequest message over a communication link.
