Abstract
Methods, a first, and a second network node as well as a user equipment for exchange of measurement period related parameters are provided. The user equipment performs a method for measuring a measurement quantity of a secondary cell on a second carrier operated by a second radio network node. The user equipment receives, from the second radio network node, an indication indicative of the second carrier and a first parameter indicating a measurement period for measuring the measurement quantity of the secondary cell. The user equipment measures said measurement quantity on the secondary cell on the second carrier over the measurement period. The measurement period is a predefined value times the first parameter.
Claims20
A method in a first radio network node for enabling a second radio network node to determine a first parameter to be used by a user equipment for measuring at least one measurement quantity on a second cell, wherein the first parameter relates to a first measurement period, wherein the second cell serves the user equipment, the method comprising:
- sending at least one parameter relating to the first measurement period to the second radio network node, thereby enabling the second radio network node to determine the first parameter based on said at least one parameter.
A first radio network node for enabling a second radio network node to determine a first parameter to be used by a user equipment for measuring at least one measurement quantity on a second cell which serves the user equipment, wherein the first parameter relates to a first measurement period, wherein the first radio network node comprises:
- a transmitter configured to send at least one parameter relating to the first measurement period to the second radio network node, whereby the second radio network node is able to determine the first parameter based on said at least one parameter.
A method in a second radio network node for providing a first parameter to be used by a user equipment for measuring at least one measurement quantity on a second cell, wherein the first parameter relates to a first measurement period, wherein the second cell serves the user equipment, the method comprising:
- sending, to the user equipment, the first parameter and an indication indicative of a second carrier, wherein the first parameter is determined based on a specific length of the first measurement period.
