Abstract

Techniques for signaling power information to facilitate channel quality indicator (CQI) reporting are described. A Node B may send power information that may be used by a UE to determine a power per channelization code, P. In one design, the power information includes a power offset between the power of a data channel, P, and the power of a pilot channel. The Node B may determine Pbased on the power available for the data channel, the number of available channelization codes, and a designated number of channelization codes. The UE may determine Pbased on the power information from the Node B and the designated number of channelization codes. The UE may estimate at least one SINR of at least one transport block based on P, determine CQI information for the transport block(s) based on the SINR, and send the CQI information to the Node B.
