Abstract
A wireless device or network node determines an evaluation period that is common to at least a portion of reference signal resources in a set of reference signal resources that are transmitted by the network node, with at least one of the reference signal resources in the set being of a different type or configuration than another of the reference signal resources in the set.
Claims39
A method performed by a wireless device for configuring a radio link monitoring evaluation period, comprising:
- determining an evaluation period that is common to at least a portion of reference signal resources in a set of reference signal resources that are transmitted by a network node, with at least one of the reference signal resources in the set being of a different type or configuration than another of the reference signal resources in the set;
- and
- monitoring channel quality of the portion of reference signal resources in the set that are received during the determined evaluation period.

A method performed by a network node for configuring a radio link monitoring evaluation period for a wireless device, comprising:
- determining an evaluation period that is common to at least a portion of reference signal resources in a set of reference signal resources that are transmitted by the network node (801), with at least one of the reference signal resources in the set being of a different type or configuration than another of the reference signal resources in the set;
- and
- configuring the determined evaluation period so that the wireless device is operable to monitor channel quality of the portion of reference signal resources in the set that are transmitted during the determined evaluation period.

A wireless device comprising:
- processing circuitry and memory, the memory containing instructions executable by the processing circuitry whereby the wireless device is configured to:
- determine an evaluation period that is common to at least a portion of reference signal resources in a set of reference signal resources that are transmitted by a network node, with at least one of the reference signal resources in the set being of a different type or configuration than another of the reference signal resources in the set;
- and
- monitor channel quality of the portion of reference signal resources in the set that are received during the determined evaluation period.
