Abstract

A method for determining channel quality indication (CQI) information, implemented by a base station, includes: determining whether intra-device interference occurrence situations of user equipment (UE) in a CQI measurement period and a subsequent downlink (DL) scheduling period of a bandwidth granularity are the same; and in response to the intra-device interference occurrence situations being different, determining a CQI level for subsequent DL scheduling in the bandwidth granularity based on a preset offset.
