Channel state determination is performed at a user equipment (UE) of a mobile network. The UE determines one or a plurality of time intervals that may be used for channel measurements, performs a plurality of signal power measurements associated each to one of the time intervals to be used for channel measurement and generates a channel state information as a function of the plurality of the signal power measurements. Information comprising an indication of a plurality of time intervals that may be used for received signal power measurements is generated and sent from an access node (eNB) to the UE. The eNB evaluates a measurement report, received from the UE, that comprises received signal power measurements associated each to one of the time intervals.
