Abstract
In one exemplary embodiment of the invention, a method includes: measuring at least one characteristic of a secondary component carrier to obtain a measurement result, where measuring is performed by an apparatus while the apparatus is in communication with a network via a primary component carrier with a network access node; and in response to the measurement result of the at least one characteristic being below a threshold, and further in response to receiving from the network access node an activation command for the secondary component carrier, considering the secondary component carrier as being undetectable.
Claims15
A method comprising:
- detecting an occurrence of a particular type of measurement event for a secondary component carrier that is used for communication with a second network access node, where detecting is performed by an apparatus while the apparatus is in communication with a first network access node via a primary component carrier;
- in response to detection of the particular type of measurement event, generating a measurement report for the secondary component carrier;
- and
- sending the measurement report from the apparatus to the first network access node.
An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code,
- the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to, at least:
- detect an occurrence of a particular type of measurement event for a secondary component carrier that is used for communication with a second network access node, where detecting is performed by an apparatus while the apparatus is in communication with a first network access node via a primary component carrier;
- in response to detection of the particular type of measurement event, generate a measurement report for the secondary component carrier;
- and
- send the measurement report from the apparatus to the first network access node.
