Abstract
An approach is described for a user equipment (UE) for enhanced machine-type communication (eMTC) in a connected mode, where the UE includes processor circuitry and radio front end circuitry. The processor circuitry is configured to perform a downlink (DL) quality measurement, and to generate a DL quality report based on the DL quality measurement, wherein a definition of the DL quality report matches a definition of quality report in Msg3. The radio front end circuitry is configured to transmit the DL quality report to a next generation base station (gNB).
Claims20
A user equipment (UE) comprising:
- processor circuitry configured to:
- perform a downlink (DL) quality measurement;
- and
- generating a DL quality report based on the DL quality measurement, wherein a definition of the DL quality report matches a definition of quality report in Msg3;
- and
- radio front end circuitry coupled to the processor circuitry, and configured to transmit the DL quality report to a base station (BS).
A method for enhanced machine-type communication (eMTC) in a connected mode by a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:
- performing a downlink (DL) quality measurement;
- generating a DL quality report based on the DL quality measurement, wherein a definition of the DL quality report matches a definition of quality report in Msg3;
- and
- transmitting the DL quality report to a base station (BS).
A non-transitory computer-readable media comprising instructions to cause an electronic device, upon execution of the instructions by one or more processors of the electronic device, to perform one of more elements of a method, the method comprising:
- performing a downlink (DL) quality measurement;
- generating a DL quality report based on the DL quality measurement, wherein a definition of the DL quality report matches a definition of quality report in Msg3;
- and
- causing to transmit the DL quality report to a base station (BS).
