9.3.1.1 AWGN propagation conditions
The reporting accuracy of channel quality indicator (CQI) under AWGN environments is determined by the reporting variance and the BLER performance using the transport format indicated by the reported CQI median.
9.3.1.1.1 Minimum Requirement – UE HS-DSCH categories 1-20
For the parameters specified in Table 9.23, and using the downlink physical channels specified in table C.8, the reported CQI value shall be in the range of +/-2 of the reported median more than 90% of the time. If the HS-PDSCH BLER using the transport format indicated by median CQI is less than or equal to 0.1, the BLER using the transport format indicated by the (median CQI +2) shall be greater than 0.1. If the HS-PDSCH BLER using the transport format indicated by the median CQI is greater than 0.1, the BLER using transport format indicated by (median CQI -1) shall be less than or equal to 0.1.

9.3.1.2 Fading propagation conditions
The reporting accuracy of the channel quality indicator (CQI) under fading environments is determined by the BLER performance using the transport format indicated by the reported CQI median.
The specified requirements may be subject to further simulations to verify assumptions.
9.3.1.2.1 Minimum Requirement – UE HS-DSCH categories 1-20
For the parameters specified in Table 9.26, and using the downlink physical channels specified in table C.8, the requirements are specified in terms of maximum BLERs at particular reported CQIs when transmitting a fixed transport format given by the CQI median as shown in Table 9.27. The BLER at a particular reported CQI is obtained by associating a particular CQI reference measurement period with the HS-PDSCH subframe overlapping with the end of this CQI reference measurement period and calculating the fraction of erroneous HS-PDSCH subframes.

9.3.1.3 Periodically varying radio conditions.
The reporting accuracy of the channel quality indicator (CQI) when subject to AWGN propagation conditions with periodically varying 
, is determined by the reporting variance as measured during selected parts of a predetermined 
pattern, as depicted in Figure 9.1.
Figure 9.1 Test scenario for CQI reporting test under varying interference conditions. 
is varied between α1 and α2 according to a predetermined square wave pattern.
9.3.1.3.1 Minimum Requirement – UE HS-DSCH categories 1-20
For the parameters specified in Table 9.27C, and using the downlink physical channels specified in table C.8, let M1 be defined as the median CQI that the UE reports in static propagation conditions, with Ior/Ioc set to α1, and M2 be the median CQI that the UE reports in static propagation conditions, with set to α2. The minimum difference between M1 and M2 is required to be larger than 6.
For the parameters specified in Table 9.27C, and using the downlink physical channels specified in table C.8, 90% of the reported CQI values, during Tmeasure as depicted in Figure 9.1, shall be in the range of +/-3 of M1, for the cases when Tmeasure occurs during time-periods where 
is set to α1, and in the range of +/-3 of M2, for the cases when Tmeasure occurs during time-periods where 
is set to α2 .
The measurement equipment is allowed to start the ramping of 
13 slots before the start of the HS-DPCCH slot that contains the first CQI report in Tmeasure.
The measurement equipment shall have settled 
to its nominal value 10 slots before the start of the HS-DPCCH slot that contains the first CQI report in Tmeasure.
An illustration of these timing relations is provided in Figure 9.2.
