Abstract
A user equipment comprises receiving circuitry configured to receive bit map information indicating time domain positions, within a measurement window, of synchronization signal block(s) (SSB(s)) used for an intra and/or an inter-frequency measurement, the SSB(s) comprising at least a primary synchronization signal (PPS), a secondary synchronization signal (SSS), and a physical broadcast channel (PBCH), wherein the bitmap information comprises a bit string, and different lengths of the bit string are defined for different frequency bands.
Claims4
A user equipment comprising:
- receiving circuitry configured to receive bit map information indicating time domain positions, within a measurement window, of synchronization signal block(s) (SSB(s)) used for an intra and/or an inter-frequency measurement,
- the SSB(s) comprising at least a primary synchronization signal (PPS), a secondary synchronization signal (SSS), and a physical broadcast channel (PBCH),
- wherein the bitmap information comprises a bit string, and different lengths of the bit string are defined for different frequency bands.
A method in a user equipment comprising:
- receiving bit map information indicating time domain positions, within a measurement window, of synchronization signal block(s) (SSB(s)) used for an intra and/or an inter-frequency measurement,
- the SSB(s) comprising at least a primary synchronization signal (PPS), a secondary synchronization signal (SSS), and a physical broadcast channel (PBCH),
- wherein the bitmap information comprises a bit string, and different lengths of the bit string are defined for different frequency bands.
An access node of a radio access network, comprising:
- transmitting circuitry configured to transit, over a radio interface to at least one user equipment, bit map information indicating time domain positions, within a measurement window, of synchronization signal block(s) (SSB(s)) used for an intra and/or an inter-frequency measurement,
- the SSB(s) comprising at least a primary synchronization signal (PPS), a secondary synchronization signal (SSS), and a physical broadcast channel (PBCH),
- wherein the bitmap information comprises a bit string, and different lengths of the bit string are defined for different frequency bands.
A method in an access node of a radio access network, comprising:
- generating bit map information indicating time domain positions, within a measurement window, of synchronization signal block(s) (SSB(s)) used for an intra and/or an inter-frequency measurement,
- the SSB(s) comprising at least a primary synchronization signal (PPS), a secondary synchronization signal (SSS), and a physical broadcast channel (PBCH),
- wherein the bitmap information comprises a bit string, and different lengths of the bit string are defined for different frequency bands;
- and
- transmitting the bitmap information over a radio interface to at least one user equipment.
