    Abstract: A method for limiting Channel Quality Indicator (CQI) reporting from a User Equipment to a network node is provided where a User Equipment can transmit CQI reports to a network node, such as e.g. a base station, when the User Equipment is operating in low transmission and/or low reception activity mode. A limited CQI reporting is obtained by triggering the reporting according to one or more predefined rules, which to at least some extent depend on CQI specific information provided to the User Equipment from the network node. A User Equipment and a network node adapted to operate in accordance with the suggested method are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20140056164
    Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to a method in a radio base station (12) for performing thermal noise power floor estimation in a radio communications network (1). The radio base station (12) computes table entries for a table for a transcendental function evaluation, which table is of minimized size with a range of table entries defined by a smallest table entry, a largest table entry, and a number of table entries. The radio base station (12) further estimates a thermal noise power floor by performing a transcendental function evaluation in computing a product representing a cumulative probability function, which cumulative probability function is related to the thermal noise power floor. The transcendental function evaluation is performed by using table look ups of the table with the computed table entries.
