RADIO LINK MONITORING (RLM) AND REFERENCE SIGNAL RECEIVED POWER (RSRP) MEASUREMENT FOR HETEROGENEOUS NETWORKS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technique for communicating in an advanced long term evolution (LTE-A) network using common reference signal (CRS) resources associated with different interference levels due to resource partitioning.SOLUTION: Signals are received 510 from an eNodeB indicating a subset of CRS resources for radio link monitoring (RLM) and reference signal received power (RSRP) measurement. The subset of CRS resources includes CRS resources expected to have lower interference from interfering eNodeBs. RLM and/or RSRP measurement is performed 512 based on the indicated subset.
