Measurement of cells arranged in groups of different priorities

摘要

Techniques for making measurements of cells in a wireless network are disclosed. In an aspect, cells to be measured are arranged into groups with different priorities. Groups with higher priority include stronger cells, which are measured more frequently and/or with more filtering to improve measurement accuracy. In one design, a user entity determines a plurality of groups of cells to make measurements. Each group includes at least one cell, and the plurality of groups have different priorities. The user entity determines a measurement interval for each of the plurality of groups of cells, with higher priority groups having shorter measurement intervals. The user entity schedules each cell in each group for measurement at least once (e.g., once) within the measurement interval for that group. The user entity makes measurements for the plurality of groups of cells based on the measurement interval for each group.

1. A method for wireless communication, comprising:
determining a plurality of groups of cells to make measurements by a user entity, each group including at least one cell, and the plurality of groups of cells having different priorities; determining a measurement interval for each of the plurality of groups of cells, with higher priority groups of cells having shorter measurement intervals; making measurements for the plurality of groups of cells based on the measurement interval for each group of cells; and updating which cells are in which group based on the measurements.
