METHOD AND DEVICE FOR IMPROVED USER EQUIPMENT MEASUREMENTS AND REPORTING

摘要

A method and electronic device for improved filtering of mobile communications device physical layer measurement ratios to reduce the variance of reported measurements. First and second signal powers of a cell in a mobile communications network are measured and a filter having a network determined filter coefficient is applied to the first signal power. A signal quality value is determined from the filtered first signal power and the second signal power. A second filter with a network determined filter coefficient may be applied to the second signal power. An example signal quality value comprises a reference signal received quality (RSRQ) comprised of the ratio of reference signal received power (RSRP), multiplied by the number (N) of resource blocks of a carrier received signal strength indicator (RSSI), to the carrier RSSI.
