Patent ID: 8670343

Claim:
A method of determining a Channel Quality Information (CQI) reporting period of a User Equipment (UE) that is in wireless communication with a processor via a wireless network associated therewith, the method comprising the steps of: using the processor, determining a Doppler frequency region of the UE, wherein the Doppler frequency region of the UE includes one of the following: a low Doppler frequency region when the speed of the UE is below a first predetermined threshold, a high Doppler frequency region when the speed of the UE is at or above a second predetermined threshold, and a medium Doppler frequency region when the speed of the UE is at or above the first predetermined threshold, but below the second predetermined threshold; and using the processor, configuring the CQI reporting period of the UE based on the determination of the Doppler frequency region of the UE, wherein the CQI reporting period is configured to one of the following values: a first predetermined value when the Doppler frequency region of the UE is either the low Doppler frequency region or the high Doppler frequency region, and a second predetermined value when the Doppler frequency region of the UE is the medium Doppler frequency region, wherein the second predetermined value is lower than the first predetermined value.
