Measurement and reporting configuration in radio communication networks

摘要

A wireless device, a network apparatus, a test equipment and a method in a heterogeneous radio-communication system configured to perform and report measurements in view of patterns including at least two types of subframes are provided. The wireless device has a transceiver and a processing unit. The transceiver is configured to send and to receive signals from more than one cell, and to receive information defining a first pattern related to first cells. The processing unit is configured to determine a second pattern related to second cells based on the first pattern and at least one of an indication or predefined rule relating the first pattern and the second pattern, to perform measurements related to the signals, and to report, to a network node, measurement results based on the measurements, the measurement results being related to signals received from a number of one or more cells.

主权项

1. A wireless device comprising:
a transceiver configured at least to receive radio signals on at least a first carrier frequency, wherein said transceiver is further configured to receive information regarding a first pattern associated with the first carrier frequency, the first pattern being a sequence of subframes of a first type and subframes of a second type; and a processor configured to determine a second pattern, the determination being based on the first pattern and at least one of an indication and a pre-determined rule, which indication or pre-determined rule relates the first pattern to the second pattern, wherein the first pattern and the second pattern are at least one of a measurement pattern and a transmit pattern, the processor is further configured to determine a number of one or more cells for which the measurements are performed in the second type of subframes, according to at least one of the following rules:
the number of one or more cells is larger or equal to a minimum number of cells, independent of whether a neighbor cell list has been received; andthe number of one or more cells is smaller or equal to a maximum number, independent of whether the neighbour cell list has been received and to report the measurement results for the determined one or more cells.
