INTER-RADIO ACCESS TECHNOLOGY MEASUREMENT SCHEDULING BASED ON MEASUREMENT GAP

摘要

A user equipment (UE) reduces latency of measurement procedures when the UE leaves a coverage area of a serving radio access technology (RAT) and enters a coverage area of a neighbor RAT. In one instance, the UE performs inter-RAT measurements of neighbor frequencies of the neighbor RAT during a measurement gap allocated by a base station of the serving RAT. The UE also determines whether to switch a frequency of the neighbor RAT for decoding a synchronization channel during the measurement gap of the serving RAT. The determining is based on whether a difference between a signal quality of a first frequency of the neighbor RAT and a signal quality of a second frequency of the neighbor RAT exceeds a threshold.

1. A method of wireless communication for a UE (user equipment), comprising:
performing IRAT (inter-radio access technology) measurements of neighbor frequencies of a neighbor RAT (radio access technology) during a measurement gap allocated by a base station of a serving RAT; and determining whether to switch a frequency of the neighbor RAT for decoding a synchronization channel during the measurement gap of the serving RAT, the determining based at least in part on whether a difference between a signal quality of a first frequency of the neighbor RAT and the signal quality of a second frequency of the neighbor RAT exceeds a threshold.
