Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé et appareil d'estimation d'indicateurs de qualité de canal (CQI). Le procédé comporte les étapes consistant à: détecter un état de canal d'une porteuse non autorisée; lorsque l'état de canal est un état inactif, acquérir un résultat de mesure d'interférence d'une cellule sur la porteuse non autorisée d'un créneau désigné; et acquérir une valeur initiale d'estimation de CQI pendant l'occupation de la porteuse non autorisée d'après le résultat de mesure d'interférence. Au moyen de la présente invention, le problème rencontré dans la technique apparentée, où un comportement de mesure unique ne peut pas satisfaire une exigence de changement de porteuse, est résolu, améliorant ainsi la précision de la mesure de CQI.
