Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques and apparatus for wireless communication. In one aspect, a method is provided which may be performed by a wireless device such as a user equipment (UE). The method generally includes determining a scheduled occurrence of a measurement gap, wherein the UE measures neighbor cell signal strength during the measurement gap, and adjusting the measurement gap based on at least one criterion.
Claims24
A method of wireless communication for a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- determining a scheduled occurrence of a measurement gap, wherein the UE measures neighbor cell signal strength during the measurement gap;
- and
- adjusting the measurement gap based on at least one criterion, wherein adjusting the measurement gap comprises scheduling a new measurement gap outside the scheduled occurrence of the measurement gap based at least in part on comparison of downlink signal quality with at least one threshold, and wherein the at least one criterion is based, at least in part, on a priority of subframes expected to conflict with the measurement gap.
An apparatus for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- a memory coupled to the at least one processor, the memory comprising instructions executable by the at least one processor to cause the apparatus to:
- determine a scheduled occurrence of a measurement gap, wherein the UE measures neighbor cell signal strength during the measurement gap, and
- adjust the measurement gap based on at least one criterion, wherein adjusting the measurement gap comprises scheduling a new measurement gap outside the scheduled occurrence of the measurement gap based at least in part on comparison of downlink signal quality with at least one threshold, and wherein the at least one criterion is based, at least in part, on a priority of subframes expected to conflict with the measurement gap.
An apparatus for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- means for determining a scheduled occurrence of a measurement gap, wherein the UE measures neighbor cell signal strength during the measurement gap;
- and
- means for adjusting the measurement gap based on at least one criterion, wherein the means for adjusting the measurement gap comprises means for scheduling a new measurement gap outside the scheduled occurrence of the measurement gap based at least in part on comparison of downlink signal quality with at least one threshold, and wherein the at least one criterion is based, at least in part, on a priority of subframes expected to conflict with the measurement gap.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), the computer-readable medium comprising code, when executed by at least one processor, the code causes the at least one processor to:
- determine a scheduled occurrence of a measurement gap, wherein the UE measures neighbor cell signal strength during the measurement gap, and
- adjust the measurement gap based on at least one criterion, wherein adjusting the measurement gap comprises scheduling a new measurement gap outside the scheduled occurrence of the measurement gap based at least in part on comparison of downlink signal quality with at least one threshold, and wherein the at least one criterion is based, at least in part, on a priority of subframes expected to conflict with the measurement gap.
