Abstract
Apparatus and methods are provided to report channel status with transmission repetition. In one novel aspect, the mobile station computes a transmission efficiency for a transport block, which is repeatedly transmitted such that the transport block is received with a predefined receiving quality; determines a channel quality indicator based on the transmission efficiency and transmits it to a base station. In one embodiment, the transport block is repeatedly transmitted over multiple subframes. In another novel aspect, the mobile station computes a plurality of transmission efficiencies corresponding to a plurality of transport blocks, wherein at least one transport block is repeatedly transmitted such that each transport block is received with a pre-defined receiving quality. The mobile station determines one or more channel quality indicators based on the transmission efficiencies and transmits either the channel quality indicator with the highest efficiency or each channel quality indicator to a base station.
