Signaling and mapping of measurement reports

摘要

The present invention describes a method for configuring a measurement report type to be used by a receiver to report a measurement to a transmitter, wherein the measurement is reported to the transmitter in a report signal over a control channel, said method comprising selecting a first measurement report type and at least one second measurement report type to be used by the receiver to report the measurement, generating a measurement reporting pattern defining an occurrence of the first measurement report type and the at least one second measurement report type in the report signal transmitted by the receiver to the transmitter over control channel, and notifying the first measurement report type, the at least one second measurement report type, and the generated measurement reporting pattern to the receiver.

1. A communication terminal, comprising:
a transmitting section configured to report a plurality of types of measurement information related to a downlink channel using Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM) over an uplink control channel to a base station, and a controlling section configured to set up a first reporting periodicity, over the uplink control channel, of a first measurement information related to the downlink channel and a second reporting periodicity, over the uplink control channel, of a second measurement information related to the downlink channel that is different from the first measurement information, wherein the controlling section:
(i) sets up the second reporting periodicity of the second measurement information longer than the first reporting periodicity of the first measurement information, wherein a longer reporting periodicity has priority over a shorter periodicity, and
(ii) in response to said priority, drops a report of the first measurement information when the report of the first measurement information and a report of the second measurement information collide with each other, wherein the controlling section sets up such that the second reporting periodicity of the second measurement information is an integer multiple of the first reporting periodicity of the first measurement information.
