The present invention relates to a method for sending channel quality
information in a multi-carrier radio communication system comprising at
least one mobile terminal and at least one base station, said channel
quality information being sent on a signaling channel by said mobile
terminal to said base station.According to the present invention, the
method comprises the steps of: performing channel quality measurements
on a plurality of frequency sub-carriers; generating and sending a first
report over said signaling channel, said first report comprising a first
channel quality information depending on said channel quality
measurements on at least one sub-carrier, said at least one sub-carrier
building an herein called first group of sub-carriers; determining a
number of additional reports depending on the mobility grade of said
mobile terminal; if said number of additional reports is not reached,
generating and sending an additional report over said signaling channel
comprising an additional channel quality information depending on channel
quality measurements on at least one sub-carrier, said at least one
sub-carrier building an herein called second group of sub-carriers, said
second group of sub-carriers being different of said first group of
sub-carriers.
