METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR NETWORK ENTITY COLLISION DETECTION DUE TO PCI COLLISION

摘要

For solving PCI confusion, methods and apparatus for communication at a network entity comprise sending a measurement configuration message to a user equipment (UE) to configure the UE to perform one or more measurements during a specified measurement period. Additionally, the methods and apparatus comprise suspending, at the network entity, transmission of at least one configuration parameter (SIB1) to the UE during the specified measurement period, wherein the network entity is the serving network entity. Moreover, the methods and apparatus comprise receiving at least one measurement report message from the UE after the specified measurement period comprising the CGI or eCGI read from received SIB1.
