| 摘要 |
Access terminals are adapted to receive and transmit data during one or more frames in a multiframe. Power measurements for a neighboring cell can be scheduled during one or more frames not intended for power measurements. In some examples, the one or more frames not intended for power measurements can include an Idle frame and/or a Packet Timing Advance Control Channel (PTCCH) frame in a 52-frame multiframe structure, as well as an Idle frame and/or a Slow Associated Control Channel (SACCH) frame in a 26-frame multiframe structure. Some access terminals may be adapted for facilitating multiple subscriptions, and may operate at least substantially simultaneously in a Connected mode subscription and an Idle mode subscription. In such instances, a neighboring cell for which power measurements are performed may be associated with the Connected mode subscription and/or the Idle mode subscription. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described. |

1. An access terminal, comprising:
a communications interface; and a processing circuit coupled to the communications interface, the processing circuit configured to:
transceive data in a current cell, via the communications interface, during one or more frames in a multiframe;determine a number of timeslots for transmission or reception that will be likely cancelled due to a tune away to conduct a power measurement for at least one neighboring cell during a typical measurement frame;determine whether the tune away by the access terminal to conduct the power measurement for the at least one neighboring cell during at least one predefined timeslot of the typical measurement frame will interfere with reception of data, transmission of data, or both at the access terminal based on whether the number of timeslots for transmission or reception that will be likely cancelled due to the tune away exceeds two timeslots when a current modulation and coding scheme of the access terminal is one of MCS-1, MCS-2, MCS-3, MCS-4, MCS-5, or MCS-6; andperform the power measurement for the at least one neighboring cell during at least one other frame instead of during the typical measurement frame in response to the determination that the number of timeslots for transmission or reception that will be likely cancelled due to the tune away exceeds two timeslots when the current modulation and coding scheme of the access terminal is one of MCS-1, MCS-2, MCS-3, MCS-4, MCS-5, or MCS-6. |
