Claims23
1-22. (canceled)
An apparatus of an evolved NodeB (eNB) comprising baseband circuitry including one or more processors to:
- configure, via a MeasGapConfig information element (IE) of a radio resource control (RRC) Connection Reconfiguration message, a measurement gap for intra-frequency measurement in a communication channel between at least one of a plurality of transmission points (TPs) of a communication network and a user equipment (UE);
- and
- generate an instruction to cease transmission and reception by the eNB for a predetermined period of time during the measurement gap.
The apparatus of an eNB of claim 1, further comprising circuitry to transmit the measurement gap to the plurality of transmission points (TPs).
The apparatus of an eNB of claim 1, further comprising transmit circuitry to transmit a plurality of transmit beams, wherein each transmit beam is associated with a beam reference signal identifier (BRS-ID).
A non-transitory machine-readable medium comprising instructions which, when executed by a processor of an evolved NodeB (eNB) in a communication network comprising a plurality of transmission points (TPs), configure the processor to:
- configure, via a MeasGapConfig information element (IE) of a radio resource control (RRC) Connection Reconfiguration message, a measurement gap for intra-frequency measurement in a communication channel between at least one of a plurality of transmission points (TPs) of a communication network and a user equipment (UE);
- and
- generate an instruction to cease transmission and reception by the eNB for a predetermined period of time during the measurement gap.
