Abstract

A device associated with a network receives feedback information associated with a data channel, and determines whether a condition in the data channel is changing based on the feedback information associated with the data channel. The device also calculates an implicit channel quality estimate based on the feedback information. The device further transmits a trigger requesting a channel quality report when the condition in the data channel is changing, and receives the requested channel quality report.
