Abstract
A method for measurement reporting performed by a wireless device includes obtaining a beam measurement configuration from a network. Based on the beam measurement configuration, the wireless device performs at least one beam measurement while operating in a dormant state. The wireless device reports a result of the at least one beam measurement to the network. The reporting is done after a transition from the dormant state to a connected state.

A method for measurement reporting performed by a wireless device, the method comprising:
- receiving, from a network, a message indicating that the wireless device is to transition from a Radio Resource Control connected (RRC_CONNECTED) state to a Radio Resource Control Idle (RRC_IDLE) or Radio Resource Control Inactive (RRC_INACTIVE) state, the message comprising a beam measurement configuration;
- based on the beam measurement configuration, performing the at least one beam measurement while operating in the RRC_IDLE or RRC_INACTIVE state;
- transitioning from the RRC_IDLE or RRC_INACTIVE state to the RRC_CONNECTED state;
- and
- reporting a result of the at least one beam measurement to the network while in the RRC_CONNECTED state.
A wireless device comprising:
- processing circuitry configured to:
- receive, from a network, a message indicating that the wireless device is to transition from a Radio Resource Control connected (RRC_CONNECTED) state to a Radio Resource Control Idle (RRC_IDLE) or Radio Resource Control Inactive (RRC_INACTIVE) state, the message comprising a beam measurement configuration;
- based on the beam measurement configuration, perform the at least one beam measurement while operating in the RRC_IDLE or RRC_INACTIVE state;
- transition from the RRC_IDLE or RRC_INACTIVE state to the RRC_CONNECTED state;
- and
- report a result of the at least one beam measurement to the network while in the RRC_CONNECTED state.
A method performed by a base station for configuring measurement reporting, the method comprising:
- transmitting, to a wireless device, a message indicating that the wireless device is to transition from a Radio Resource Control connected (RRC_CONNECTED) state to a Radio Resource Control Idle (RRC_IDLE) or Radio Resource Control Inactive (RRC_INACTIVE) state, the message comprising a beam measurement configuration configuring the wireless device to perform at least one beam measurement while the wireless device is operating in the RRC_IDLE or RRC_INACTIVE state;
- receiving, from the wireless device, a reporting of a result of the at least one beam measurement, wherein the reporting is received after a first transition of the wireless device from the RRC_CONNECTED state to the RRC_IDLE or RRC_INACTIVE state and after a second transition of the wireless device from the RRC_IDLE or RRC_INACTIVE state to the RRC_CONNECTED state.
A base station comprising:
- processing circuitry configured to:
- transmit, to a wireless device, a message indicating that the wireless device is to transition from a Radio Resource Control connected (RRC_CONNECTED) state to a Radio Resource Control Idle (RRC_IDLE) or Radio Resource Control Inactive (RRC_INACTIVE) state, the message comprising a beam measurement configuration configuring the wireless device to perform at least one beam measurement while the wireless device is operating in the RRC_IDLE or RRC_INACTIVE state;
- receive, from the wireless device, a reporting of a result of the at least one beam measurement, wherein the reporting is received after a first transition of the wireless device from the RRC_CONNECTED state to the RRC_IDLE or RRC_INACTIVE state and after a second transition of the wireless device from the RRC_IDLE or RRC_INACTIVE state to e the RRC_CONNECTED state.
