Neighboring cell measurements

摘要

An arrangement (400) for a user equipment, UE, is disclosed. The arrangement (400) comprises an acquiring unit (401) configured to acquire neighboring cell information relating to a plurality of neighboring cells. An assignment unit (403) is provided to assign a priority indicator to each neighboring cell based on the neighboring cell information. Also, a measurement unit (404) is provided to perform measurements on the basis of the assigned priority indicators. The arrangement (400) is arranged such that measurements can be performed more frequently for a neighboring cell having a first priority indicator compared with another neighboring cell having a second priority indicator, which second priority indicator is comparatively lower than the first priority indicator. The disclosure also presents corresponding methods, computer program products and devices.

主权项

1. A method performed by a user equipment, UE, the method comprising:
acquiring neighboring cell information relating to a plurality of neighboring cells; assigning a priority indicator to each neighboring cell based on the neighboring cell information; and performing measurements on the basis of the assigned priority indicators such that measurements are performed more frequently for a neighboring cell having a first priority indicator compared with another neighboring cell having a second priority indicator, which second priority indicator is comparatively lower than the first priority indicator, wherein the neighboring cell information comprises a neighboring cell list and information on measurement reports for a respective cell in the neighboring cell list, wherein each cell of the neighboring cell list is associated with an index, wherein the step of assigning the priority indicator comprises initially assigning the priority indicator on the basis of the information on the measurements reports and then adjusting the assigned priority indicator on the basis of the indices of the neighboring cells, and wherein the step of assigning the priority indicator comprises assigning a comparatively higher priority indicator to a neighboring cell that is configured for measurement reports that are relevant for handover compared with another neighboring cell that is configured for other measurement reports.
