Abstract
A method of wireless communication enables an inter-radio access technology (IRAT) neighbor cell measurement when a serving RAT signal strength is continuously below a first threshold value for a first length of time. The method also disables the IRAT neighbor cell measurement when the serving RAT signal strength is continuously above a second threshold value for a second length of time.
Claims20
A method of wireless communication, comprising:
- checking a serving cell signal strength;
- initializing a counter value;
- modifying the counter value proportional to the signal strength;
- and
- adjusting a neighbor cell measurement frequency based on the counter value and the serving cell signal strength.
A wireless communication apparatus, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- a memory coupled to the at least one processor;
- in which the at least one processor is configured:
- to check a serving cell signal strength;
- to initialize a counter value;
- to modify the counter value proportional to the signal strength;
- and
- to adjust a neighbor cell measurement frequency based on the counter value and the serving cell signal strength.
A computer program product for wireless communication in a wireless network, comprising:
- a non-transitory computer-readable medium having non-transitory program code recorded thereon, the program code comprising:
- program code to check a serving cell signal strength;
- program code to initialize a counter value;
- program code to modify the counter value proportional to the signal strength;
- and
- program code to adjust a neighbor cell measurement frequency based on the counter value and the serving cell signal strength.
A wireless communication apparatus, comprising:
- means for checking a serving cell signal strength;
- means for initializing a counter value;
- means for modifying the counter value proportional to the signal strength;
- and
- means for adjusting a neighbor cell measurement frequency based on the counter value and the serving cell signal strength.
