Methods and devices for adjusting resource management procedures in heterogeneous communication networks

摘要

Devices and methods for adjusting resource management procedures in heterogeneous communication networks are disclosed. In one aspect, a method for adjusting radio resource management procedures in a mobile device communicating with a node operating in a cell in a heterogeneous communication network includes receiving a message that includes cell information transmitted from the node, measuring signal reception information, processing the received cell information and measured signal reception information to determine an adjustment to a resource management procedure, and adjusting the resource management procedure based on the determined adjustment. The first and second messages may be radio resource control (RRC) measurement control messages.

1. A method for adjusting resource management procedures in a mobile device communicating with a node operating in a cell in a heterogeneous communication network, the method comprising:
receiving, by the mobile device, a message transmitted from the node, the message including cell information; measuring, by the mobile device, signal reception information; processing, by the mobile device, the received cell information and measured signal reception information to determine an adjustment to a resource management procedure; and adjusting, by the mobile device, the resource management procedure based on the determined adjustment, wherein the resource management procedure is a radio resource management procedure, wherein adjusting the radio resource management procedure includes adjusting one or more of handover, uplink (UL) power control, radio link failure (RLF) recovery and link adaptation, wherein adjusting handover includes one or more of setting the size of a measurement report, setting a value of a measurement gap, determining a Time-to-Trigger value, and determining a signal hysteresis value, wherein the received cell information includes information relating to cell size and system load, the radio resource management procedure includes setting the size of a measurement report for transmission to the node, and wherein, based on the cell size and system load, the size of the measurement report is adjusted to a standard size or a minimum size.
