Abstract

There are provided a wireless communication method of configuring a measurement resource and a wireless communication device therefor. The method comprises determining a measurement resource to be disregarded when the number of measurement resources configured in one subframe exceeds the maximum number of measurement resources that a user equipment is able to measure in one subframe, wherein the measurement resource with lower priority is determined to be disregarded, and the measurement resource is not disregarded A times within the duration of N subframes, where A is an integer larger than 1, N corresponds to one plus B*periodicity of the measurement resource, and B is an integer equal to or larger than 1.

Claims11

Dependent claims

A base station, comprising:

a receiver, which, in operation, receives CSI (Channel State Information) from a wireless communication terminal, and
circuitry, which is coupled to the receiver and which, in operation, performs communication based on the received CSI,
wherein at least one measurement resource, among at least two measurement resources configured by the base station per subframe, is unreported when a number of the measurement resources configured by the base station in one subframe exceeds a maximum number of measurement resources supported by the wireless communication terminal in one subframe,
CSI for the at least one measurement resource is not updated, and
the at least one measurement resource is determined based on a lowest priority assigned thereto and based on a number of measurement resources unreported within N subframes before a subframe in which the configured measurement resource corresponding to the unreported measurement resource is transmitted, wherein N is an integer equal to or greater than 1.
