An apparatus and method are provided for feeding back channel quality information and performing scheduling using the fed-back channel quality information in a wireless communication system based on Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA). A base station controls power of a physical channel using information fed back from a mobile station. In a method for feeding back channel quality information from the mobile station, sub-band-by-sub-band channel quality information is measured and channel-by-channel quality information of a number of channels is transmitted in order of sub-bands of better channel quality information. Average channel quality information for a total band is measured and transmitted.

An RF shield for enclosing a robotic tester unit while testing mobile devices. In some embodiments, the RF shield includes at least two conductive RF shield layers separated by an insulator material. In some embodiments, an inner surface of the RF shield is further lined with a RF absorbing material to absorb EM radiation generated within the RF Shield enclosure. In some embodiments, the internal components required for testing, e.g. the robot, are powered via a power conditioner that removes from the power source frequencies above a threshold, e.g. 100 Hz, to eliminate RF signals absorbed into the power lines via radio towers and/or intentionally induced into the power lines to control power equipment.
