SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND DEVICES FOR IMPROVED INTER-FREQUENCY MEASUREMENT

摘要

Systems and methods for improved inter-frequency measurement are disclosed herein. User equipment (UE) may be configured to communicatively couple to an Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network (E-UTRAN) Node B (eNB). The eNB may determine a measurement pattern indicating when the UE should perform inter-frequency measurements. The measurement pattern may be selected such that the UE performs measurements more often than once per measurement cycle. The measurement pattern may be selected to balance timing requirements for the UE with increased power consumption that may result from more frequent measurements. The eNB may determine the measurement pattern based on an estimate of UE speed and a number of frequencies to be monitored. A default pattern may be used if the UE speed and/or number of frequencies do not exceed predetermined thresholds.
