Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described for event triggering and reporting with multiple reference signals. A user equipment (UE) may receive event configuration data that specifies at least one permitted combination of reference signals of different types for generating a signal quality comparison and receive a first reference signal and a second reference signal. The UE may generate signal quality comparison data based at least in part on the event configuration data, the first reference signal, and the second reference signal, and transmit a report to a base station that includes the signal quality comparison data.
Claims28
A method for wireless communication by a user equipment, comprising:
- receiving event configuration data that specifies at least one permitted combination of reference signals of different types for generating a signal quality comparison;
- processing the event configuration data to determine a margin for a first reference signal of a first reference signal type or a second reference signal of a second reference signal type different from the first reference signal type, wherein the margin is a function of bandwidth, or sub-carrier spacing, or both;
- receiving, in a first beam, the first reference signal of the first reference signal type and receiving, in a second beam, the second reference signal of the second reference signal type different from the first reference signal type, wherein the first reference signal type and the second reference signal type correspond to a permitted combination of the at least one permitted combination specified by the received event configuration data, and wherein the first reference signal type is a synchronization type of reference signal;
- generating signal quality comparison data based at least in part on the event configuration data, the margin, the first reference signal, and the second reference signal;
- and
- transmitting a report to a base station that includes the signal quality comparison data.

A method for wireless communication by a base station, comprising:
- selecting event configuration data that specifies at least one permitted combination of reference signals including at least a synchronization signal and a reference signal different from the synchronization signal for a signal quality comparison;
- determining a margin for a user equipment to use for the synchronization signal or the reference signal different from the synchronization signal, wherein the margin is a function of bandwidth, or a sub-carrier spacing, or both;
- transmitting the event configuration data to the user equipment;
- and
- receiving a report from the user equipment that includes signal quality comparison data, wherein the signal quality comparison data is based at least in part on the event configuration data, the margin, the synchronization signal, and the reference signal different from the synchronization signal.
