Mobile terminal, base station, cell reception quality measuring method and cell reception quality measuring system

摘要

Disclosed is a technique for providing a mobile terminal and the like capable of reducing inter-cell interference between a macro cell and a small cell, suppressing frequent switching of a primary cell in carrier aggregation, and hence reducing an increase in the processing load on a base station and an increase in the power consumption of the terminal. According to the technique, there are included a receiving unit 603 for receiving a message including information for causing a reception quality in a second cell to be measured in tune with timing of a predetermined control channel area of a signal to be transmitted from a first base station in a predetermined frequency band, and a measurement unit 605 for measuring the reception quality in the second cell based on the information received.

主权项

1. A mobile terminal in a communication system, where a first cell the range of which is accessible by the mobile terminal is formed by a first base station, a second cell the range of which is accessible by the mobile terminal is formed within the first cell by a second base station, and each of the first base station and the second base station communicates with the mobile terminal using a plurality of frequency bands, the mobile terminal comprising:
a receiving unit for receiving a message including information for measuring a reception quality in the second cell in tune with timing of a predetermined control channel area of a signal transmitted from the first base station in a predetermined frequency band; and a measurement unit for measuring the reception quality in the second cell based on the information received.
