Increase throughput by expectation channel quality indicator

Improved Channel Quality Indicator (CQI) reporting scheme which aims to reduce the required CQI signaling even when the downlink data activity is high by employing a CQI prediction method. According to this paper, Node B Expectations all the intermediary CQI reports between two subsequent CQI reports by utilizing a FSMC model of the wireless channel. The proposed prediction-based CQI reporting scheme Expected-CQI (E-CQI) is based on the optimum periodic CQI feedback scheme and which has the minimum reporting cycle of 2ms. Therefore, every 2ms a CQI report is either transmitted by the UE or Expected from Node B.
