The invention relates to the wireless communication field, and discloses a method and device for selecting channel quality indicating information. According to the method and device for selecting the channel quality indicating information, a wireless channel region is divided into large time delay channels and non-large-time-delay channels according to parameters reflecting channel states, and then diffident CQI reporting strategies are adopted according to the scenes of channel environments. The conservative CQI reporting strategy is selected in large time delay channels, and the relatively radical CQI reporting strategy is selected in small time delay channels. The reporting value of the CQI in each scene is made more accurate through detail division of channel scenes, the selection strategies of the CQI feed back the down link channel state information of current UE as faithful as possible, so that it is guaranteed that the BLER of a physical layer under severe channel environments can be maintained in reasonable range, the overall performance of links is improved, downlink dispatching is more reasonable the downlink throughput is improved as far as possible, and the speed of the UE is increased as far as possible.
