Method and devices for configuring measurement gap pattern in a communication system

摘要

Disclosed is method and devices for allowing a communication terminal to configure a measurement gap pattern on a downlink carrier frequency for measurement on a target carrier frequency by the communication terminal. The communication terminal is capable of performing measurements on at least two downlink carrier frequencies without measurement gap. The method comprises: obtaining an indication that there is a need for the measurement gap pattern for performing the measurement on the target carrier frequency; retrieving information about how to configure the measurement gap pattern; and determining the downlink carrier frequency on which the measurement gap pattern is to be configured based on the retrieved information.
