Abstract
Methods, apparatus and articles of manufacture for performing inter-frequency measurements in a mobile network are disclosed. Example methods disclosed herein include a mobile station receiving, from a network, one or more lists specifying a set of frequencies for which measurements are to be performed. Such example methods also include the mobile station varying a rate at which the measurements are to be performed for a first frequency of the set of frequencies based on a number of frequencies for which the measurements are to be performed.
Claims21
A method in a mobile station, the method comprising:
- receiving, from a network, one or more lists specifying a set of frequencies for which measurements are to be performed;
- and
- varying a rate at which the measurements are to be performed for a first frequency of the set of frequencies based on a number of frequencies for which the measurements are to be performed.
A tangible computer readable medium comprising computer readable instructions which, when executed, cause a mobile station to at least:
- access one or more lists received from a network, the one or more lists specifying a set of frequencies for which measurements are to be performed;
- and
- vary a rate at which the measurements are to be performed for a first frequency of the set of frequencies based on a number of frequencies for which the measurements are to be performed.
A mobile station comprising:
- a memory to store one or more lists received from a network, the one or more lists specifying a set of frequencies for which measurements are to be performed;
- and
- a processor to vary a rate at which the measurements are to be performed for a first frequency of the set of frequencies based on a number of frequencies for which the measurements are to be performed.
