METHODS AND APPARATUSES FOR MEASUREMENT ENHANCEMENT IN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

Embodiments of the present invention relate to a method and apparatus for performing measurement enhancement for a cell in an off state. The method executed at a base station side comprises: transmitting a configuration message to a first device, wherein the configuration message indicates a specific time within a given time interval which can be used to perform measurement for one or more cells in the off state; and receiving a measurement report for the cell from the first device, wherein the measurement report is based on a result of a measurement performed by the first device for the cell at the specific time. Embodiments of the present invention further provide a method of UE corresponding thereto and a corresponding apparatus. The methods and apparatuses according to embodiments of the present invention can bring about enhanced small cell measurement so as to enable more effective use of the resources.
