Abstract
A method, performed by a user equipment (UE), is provided. The method includes: obtaining a channel hardening (CH) parameter; changing a measurement parameter based on the obtained CH parameter; and adapting a measurement procedure in accordance with the changed parameter. A method performed by a network node, the method includes obtaining a channel hardening (CH) parameter corresponding to a user equipment (UE); and sending to the UE an indication that the UE is allowed to perform optimizations based on the obtained CH parameter.
Claims18
A method, performed by a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:
- obtaining an indication that a channel hardening (CH) condition is present;
- based on the indication that the CH condition is present, obtaining a CH parameter;
- determining that the obtained CH parameter is less than a first CH threshold;
- in response to determining that the obtained CH parameter is less than the first CH threshold, changing a measurement parameter based on the obtained CH parameter;
- and
- adapting a measurement procedure in accordance with the changed measurement parameter.
A method performed by a network node, the method comprising:
- obtaining a channel hardening (CH) parameter corresponding to a user equipment (UE);
- and
- sending to the UE an indication that the UE is allowed to perform optimizations based on the obtained CH parameter.
A user equipment (UE) configured to:
- obtain an indication that a channel hardening (CH) condition is present;
- based on the indication that the CH condition is present, obtain a CH parameter;
- determine that the obtained CH parameter is less than a first CH threshold;
- in response to the obtained CH parameter being less than the first CH threshold, change a measurement parameter based on the obtained CH parameter;
- and
- adapt a measurement procedure in accordance with the changed parameter.
A network node configured to:
- obtain a channel hardening (CH) parameter corresponding to a user equipment (UE);
- and
- send to the UE an indication that the UE is allowed to perform optimizations based on the obtained CH parameter.
