MEASUREMENT GAP ENHANCEMENT FOR INCMON (INCREASED NUMBER OF CARRIERS FOR MONITORING)

摘要

Adaptive implementation of multiple measurement gap patterns (MGPs) is discussed. One example apparatus can be employed within an eNB, comprising a processor determining a first MGP associated with a first set of one or more carriers and a distinct second MGP associated with a second set of one or more carriers; determining a schedule for a user equipment (UE) associated with the first MGP and the second MGP; and assigning a priority to each carrier of the first set and the second set; transmitter circuitry transmitting to the UE one or more messages that configure the first MGP, the second MGP and the schedule, and transmitting one or more messages that indicate the assigned priorities and the carriers of the first set and the second set; and receiver circuitry receiving carrier measurement(s) from the UE associated with at least one carrier of the first set or the second set.
