Abstract
A technique of operating a wireless communication system includes determining respective geometries of multiple subscriber stations (502) which include a first subscriber station and a second subscriber station with respect to a serving base station (510). Respective channel sounding bandwidths for sounding the channel between the multiple subscriber stations and the serving base station are then scheduled based on the respective geometries. The respective channel sounding bandwidths include a first channel sounding bandwidth (associated with the first subscriber station) and a second channel sounding bandwidth (associated with the second subscriber station). The first channel sounding bandwidth is greater than or equal to the second channel sounding bandwidth and the first subscriber station has a lower geometry than the second subscriber station.

Claim
1. A method of operating a wireless communication system, comprising: determining respective geometries of multiple subscriber stations with respect to a serving base station, the multiple subscriber stations including a first subscriber station and a second subscriber station; and scheduling, based on the determining the respective geometries, respective channel sounding bandwidths for sounding a channel between the multiple subscriber stations and the serving base station, wherein the respective channel sounding bandwidths include a first channel sounding bandwidth associated with the first subscriber station and a second channel sounding bandwidth associated with the second subscriber station, and wherein the first channel sounding bandwidth is greater than or equal to the second channel sounding bandwidth and the first subscriber station has a lower geometry than the second subscriber station.
2.
