Terminal and reception power measurement method

A reception power measurement method, comprising:

• receiving, by Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling, a Channel State Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS) candidate list and a reporting condition, wherein the CSI-RS candidate list includes a plurality of CSI-RS configurations, wherein each of the plurality of CSI-RS configurations includes a CSI-RS configuration ID, a time/frequency resource position in a subframe, a cell ID, and a CSI-RS individual offset, wherein the reporting condition includes a threshold;
• determining CSI-RS resource information based on the CSI-RS candidate list;
• making a-reception power measurements for the plurality of CSI-RS configurations based on the determined CSI-RS resource information, wherein the reception power measurements are offset by CSI-RS individual offsets included in the plurality of CSI-RS configurations;
• and
• reporting a result of the reception power measurements in response to at least one of the reception power measurements being greater than the threshold included in the reporting condition.

An integrated circuit which, when loaded in a communications terminal, controls operation of the communications terminal by causing the communications terminal to:

• receive, by Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling, a Channel State Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS) candidate list and a reporting condition, wherein the CSI-RS candidate list includes a plurality of CSI-RS configurations, wherein each of the plurality of CSI-RS configurations includes a CSI-RS configuration ID, a time/frequency resource position in a subframe, a cell ID, and a CSI-RS individual offset, wherein the reporting condition includes a threshold;
• determine CSI-RS resource information based on the CSI-RS candidate list;
• make reception power measurements for the plurality of CSI-RS configurations based on the determined CSI-RS resource information, wherein the reception power measurements are offset by CSI-RS individual offsets included in the plurality of CSI-RS configurations;
• and
• report a result of the reception power measurements in response to at least one of the reception power measurements being greater than the threshold included in the reporting condition.
