The invention provides a method for a base station to process CQIs (channel quality indicators) reported by a terminal. The method includes the steps: A, enabling the base station to receive the CQIs reported by the terminal and make statistics on receiving transmission performance of the CQIs; B, enabling a base station to judge whether CQI receiving times reach a time threshold or not, continuing to execute a step C if yes, and otherwise, returning to the step A; C, enabling the base station to judge whether the receiving transmission performance reaches a performance threshold or not, continuing to execute a step D if yes, and otherwise, executing a step E; D, enabling the base station to decrease processing frequency of the CQIs periodically reported by the corresponding terminal, and returning to the step A; and E, enabling the base station to increase the processing frequency of the CQIs periodically reported by the corresponding terminal, and returning to the step A.
