Abstract
A method of adapting radio resources based on physical conditions in a device for wireless communication is disclosed. The method comprises determining radio conditions, mapping the radio conditions to a metric, reporting the radio conditions to a handler of radio resources, and using the reported radio conditions and their mappings to the metric by the handler for radio resource operations. A device for wireless communication and a computer program are also disclosed.
Claims21
A method of adapting radio resources based on radio conditions measured by a device for wireless communication, the method comprising:
- determining radio conditions;
- mapping the radio conditions to a metric,
- wherein the mapping radio conditions to the metric comprises mapping the radio conditions to reference signal received power,
- wherein a value of the metric is derived from one or more functions operating on one or more metrics,
- wherein the one or more functions comprises determining a majority vote based on individual assessments for any and/or a combination of the one or more metrics, and
- wherein output of the one or more functions is mapped to the metric;
- reporting the radio conditions to a handler of radio resources;
- determining whether the device is to operate in a conventional operation mode or an enhanced coverage operation mode based on broadcasted system information received from a network node with an indication to the device to operate either in the conventional operation mode or the enhanced coverage operation;
- responsive to determining the device is to operate in the enhanced coverage operation mode, using the reported radio conditions and their mappings to the metric by the handler for radio resource operations by operating based on the metric to which the radio conditions are mapped;
- and
- responsive to determining the device is to operate in the conventional operation mode, using the reported radio conditions by the handler for radio resource operations by operating based on metrics provided by the reported radio conditions.
