Abstract
To select cell more appropriately when transmission over directional beam is performed, there is provided an apparatus comprising: an acquisition unit that acquires information for correcting a result of measurements of a reference signal which is used for selecting a cell and transmitted over a plurality of directional beams in different directions; and a control unit that notifies a terminal apparatus of the information.
Claims16
An apparatus comprising circuitry configured to:
- acquire information for correcting a result of measurements of a first reference signal and a second reference signal which are used for selecting a cell, wherein the first reference signal and the second reference signal are transmitted over a plurality of directional beams in different directions;
- and
- notify a terminal apparatus of the information,
- wherein the information is used to correct the result of the measurements at least in part based on a difference between a first amount corresponding to power allocated to directional beams of the first reference signal for selecting a cell and a second amount corresponding to power allocated to directional beams of the second reference signal for demodulating a data signal.

A terminal apparatus comprising circuitry configured to:
- acquire first information from a first base station and second information from a neighbor base station of the first base station for correcting a first result of measurements of a first reference signal transmitted by the first base station and a second result of measurements of a second reference signal transmitted by the neighbor base station, wherein the first reference signal and the second reference signal are used for selecting a cell and transmitted over a plurality of directional beams in different directions;
- and
- correct the first result of the measurements of the first reference signal transmitted by the first base station on the basis of the first information;
- and
- correct the second result of the measurements of the second reference signal transmitted by the neighbor base station on the basis of the second information.
