Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide methods and devices for cell measurement and measurement control. In the embodiments of the present invention, the base station may provide the information of the neighboring micro cell to the UE, so that the UE may identify that the neighboring cell of the serving cell includes a micro cell, and ignore the measurement starting condition when performing measurement on the micro cell, so as to timely complete measurement on the neighboring micro cell and be handed over to the neighboring micro cell to be served, thereby improving an effect of load sharing of the micro cell.
Claims23
A measuring method, comprising:
- receiving, by a user equipment, information of a neighboring micro cell, and learning that a neighboring cell of a serving cell of the user equipment comprises a micro cell according to the information of the neighboring micro cell;
- and
- ignoring, by the user equipment, a measurement starting condition when performing a measurement on the micro cell.
A user equipment, comprising:
- a receiving unit, configured to receive information of a neighboring micro cell, and learn that a neighboring cell of a serving cell of the user equipment comprises a micro cell according to the information of the neighboring micro cell;
- and
- a measuring unit, configured to ignore a measurement starting condition when performing a measurement on the micro cell.
A base station, comprising:
- a generating unit, configured to generate information of a neighboring micro cell;
- and
- a sending unit, configured to send the information of the neighboring micro cell to a user equipment, so that the user equipment learns that a neighboring cell of a serving cell of the user equipment comprises a micro cell according to the information of the neighboring micro cell, and the user equipment ignores a measurement starting condition when performing a measurement on the micro cell.
