Abstract
In accordance with aspects of the present invention, a method, an apparatus, a system, and software are provided to link channel quality indication reporting with periods when communication terminals, such as user equipment, are active. In one aspect, an apparatus (e.g., a communication terminal) includes a determination module configured to determine when at least one component of the apparatus is in an inactivated state. The apparatus also includes an interrupter configured to interrupt a transmission of at least one channel quality indication report when the at least one component is in the inactivated state. In another aspect, a method includes determining when at least one component of a communication terminal is in an inactivated state and interrupting transmitting at least one channel quality indication report when the at least one component is in the inactivated state.
