Abstract
A method for UE capability signaling for supporting reference signal based measurements in NR-U is proposed. A UE transfers its UE capability information to a mobile communication network, wherein the UE capability information includes information regarding whether the UE supports measurements of a CSI-RS on an unlicensed cell. The UE receives configuration from the mobile communication network, wherein the configuration includes information regarding radio resources of the CSI-RS on the unlicensed cell. The UE measures the CSI-RS on the unlicensed cell based on the configuration.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- receiving a User Equipment (UE) capability enquiry message from a mobile communication network;
- transferring UE capability information to the mobile communication network by a UE, wherein the UE capability information comprises information regarding whether the UE supports measurements of a Channel State Information-Reference Signal (CSI-RS) on an unlicensed cell;
- receiving configuration from the mobile communication network by the UE, wherein the configuration comprises information regarding radio resources of the CSI-RS on the unlicensed cell;
- and
- measuring the CSI-RS on the unlicensed cell based on the configuration by the UE.
A User Equipment (UE), comprising:
- a transmitter that transfers UE capability information to a mobile communication network, wherein the UE capability information comprises information regarding whether the UE supports measurements of a Channel State Information-Reference Signal (CSI-RS) on an unlicensed cell;
- a receiver that receives UE capability enquiry message from the mobile communication network and receives configuration from the mobile communication network, wherein the configuration comprises information regarding radio resources of the CSI-RS on the unlicensed cell;
- and
- a measurement handling circuit that measures the CSI-RS on the unlicensed cell based on the configuration.
