Abstract
Measurement mode determination for narrowband internet of things devices There are provided measures for measurement mode determination for NB-IoT devices. Such measures exemplarily comprise receiving, by a NB-IoT device and from a serving network node (30), configuration information indicative of a measurement mode (e.g., Inband/Guard-band/Standalone) in relation to a neighbor cell, deriving said measurement mode of said neighbor cell from said configuration information, and measuring a reference signal of said neighbor cell based on said measurement mode.
Claims31
A method comprising:
- receiving configuration information indicative of a measurement mode in relation to a neighbor cell,
- deriving said measurement mode of said neighbor cell from said configuration information, and
- measuring a reference signal of said neighbor cell based on said measurement mode.
A method comprising:
- determining a measurement mode of a neighbor cell of a served terminal, and
- transmitting configuration information indicative of said measurement mode of said neighbor cell.
An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor,
- at least one memory including computer program code, and
- at least one interface configured for communication with at least another apparatus,
- the at least one processor, with the at least one memory and the computer program code, being configured to cause the apparatus to perform:
- receiving configuration information indicative of a measurement mode in relation to a neighbor cell,
- deriving said measurement mode of said neighbor cell from said configuration information, and
- measuring a reference signal of said neighbor cell based on said measurement mode.
An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor,
- at least one memory including computer program code, and
- at least one interface configured for communication with at least another apparatus,
- the at least one processor, with the at least one memory and the computer program code, being configured to cause the apparatus to perform:
- determining a measurement mode of a neighbor cell of a served terminal, and
- transmitting configuration information indicative of said measurement mode of said neighbor cell.
