Abstract
Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) is measured accurately even in a case where a discovery signal is transmitted. A receiver receives a plurality of subframes, at least one of which includes a discovery signal, and a measurer measures Reference Signal Reception Power (RSRP) using a first resource in which the discovery signal is mapped, measures RSSI using a second resource different from the first resource for which the discovery signal is mapped, and calculates Reference Signal Reception Quality (RSRQ) using RSRP and RSSI.
Claims14
A communication apparatus comprising:
- a receiver which, in operation, receives discovery signal information indicating subframes in which discovery signals are transmitted;
- and
- a measurement circuitry which, in operation, measures Reference Signal Reception Power (RSRP) and Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) using the subframes which are indicated by the discovery signal information.
A reception quality measurement method comprising:
- receiving discovery signal information indicating subframes in which discovery signals are transmitted;
- and
- measuring Reference Signal Reception Power (RSRP) and Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) using the subframes which are indicated by the discovery signal information.
