Abstract
A user equipment (UE) is configured to receive an inter-frequency measurement configuration comprising a plurality of frequencies, wherein neighbor cells transmit at at least one of the frequencies, the inter-frequency measurement configuration further comprising a priority associated with each of the frequencies, performing the frequency measurements of the neighbor cells according to the inter-frequency measurement configuration and reporting inter-frequency measurement results of the neighbor cells according to the priority in the inter-frequency measurement configuration.
Claims12
A processor of a user equipment (UE) configured to perform operations comprising:
- receiving, from a serving cell, an inter-frequency measurement configuration comprising a first frequency, a second frequency, and
- an indication that the second frequency has a higher priority than the first frequency;
- performing inter-frequency measurements of neighbor cells according to the inter-frequency measurement configuration;
- determining if any of the inter-frequency measurements satisfy a measurement reporting criteria;
- when a measurement of a first neighbor cell satisfies the measurement reporting criteria,
- determining whether measurement of the first neighbor cell is for the first frequency or the second frequency;
- and
- when the measurement of the first neighbor cell is on the second frequency, reporting the measurement of the first neighbor cell to the serving cell;
- wherein, the measurement of the first neighbor cell is on the first frequency, the operations further comprise:
- determining a second neighbor cell has not been measured on the second frequency;
- and
- starting a timeToTrigger (TTT) timer for the measurement of the first neighbor cell.
