Methods and apparatus for providing enhanced time-to-trigger mechanism to improve ue call performance

A computer program product, comprising:

• a computer-readable medium, including:
• at least one instruction executable to cause a computer to monitor, by a user equipment, a signal quality value from at least one of a serving cell or a target cell;
• at least one instruction executable to cause a computer to determine, at an expiration of an internal time to trigger (TTT) less than a network-configured TTT, that at least one of the signal quality value from the serving cell is below a serving cell threshold value, or the signal quality value from the target cell is above the signal quality of the serving cell by a comparative threshold value;
• and
• at least one instruction executable to cause a computer to trigger generation of a measurement report based on the determination.

An apparatus for wireless communications, comprising:

• means for monitoring, by a user equipment a signal quality value from at least one of a serving cell or a target cell;
• means for determining, at an expiration of an internal time to trigger (TTT) less than a network-configured TTT, that at least one of the signal quality value from the serving cell is below a serving cell threshold value, or the signal quality value from the target cell is above the signal quality of the serving cell by a comparative threshold value;
• and
• means for triggering generation of a measurement report based on the determination.

An apparatus for communication, comprising:

• a downlink signal condition monitoring module configured to monitor a signal quality value from at least one of a serving cell or a target cell;
• and
• a severe cell change determination module configured to determine, at an expiration of an internal time to trigger (TTT) less than a network-configured TTT, that at least one of the signal quality value from the serving cell is below a serving cell threshold value, or the signal quality value from the target cell is above the signal quality of the serving cell by a comparative threshold value;
• wherein the severe cell change determination module is further configured to trigger generation of a measurement report based on the determination.
