Abstract
The present application relates to devices and components including apparatus, systems, and methods for carrier-specific scaling factor for measurements without measurement gaps in dual connectivity networks.
Claims19
One or more non-transitory, computer-readable media having instructions that, when executed, cause processing circuitry to:
- process a first measurement object (MO) received from a master node (MN) evolved node B (eNB) to configure a first measurement on a serving carrier;
- process a second MO received from a secondary node (SN) gNB to configure a second measurement on the serving carrier;
- and
- perform the first and second measurements within a measurement period that is based on a carrier-specific scaling factor (CSSF), wherein the CSSF is based on whether the first MO and the second MO satisfy merging criteria. cm 2. The one or more non-transitory, computer-readable media of claim 1, wherein the merging criteria include that the first MO and the second MO identify common received signal strength indicator (RSSI) measurement resources, derive-synchronization signal block (SSB)-index-from-cell (deriveSSB-IndexFromCell) indications, and SSB-based measurement timing configurations (SMTC).
The one or more non-transitory, computer-readable media of claim 2, wherein the CSSF for the first and second MOs is one based on the first and second MOs satisfying the merging criteria.
The one or more non-transitory, computer-readable media of claim 2, wherein the CSSF for the first and second MOs is two based on the first and second MOs not satisfying the merging criteria.
The one or more non-transitory, computer-readable media of claim 2, wherein the first and second MOs do not satisfy the merging criteria and the CSSF is based further on whether the first and second MOs satisfy additional criteria.
A method comprising:
- receiving a first measurement object (MO) from a master node (MN) evolved node B (eNB) to configure a first measurement on a serving carrier;
- receiving a second MO from a secondary node (SN) gNB to configure a second measurement on the serving carrier;
- and
- performing the first and second measurements within a measurement period that is based on a carrier-specific scaling factor (CSSF), wherein the CSSF is based on whether the first MO and the second MO satisfy merging criteria.
An apparatus comprising:
- processing circuitry to:
- process a first measurement object (MO) received from a master node (MN) evolved node B (eNB) to configure a first measurement on a serving carrier;
- process a second MO received from a secondary node (SN) gNB to configure a second measurement on the serving carrier;
- and
- obtain the first and second measurements within a measurement period that is based on a carrier-specific scaling factor (CSSF), wherein the CSSF is based on whether the first MO and the second MO satisfy merging criteria;
- and
- interface circuitry coupled to the processing circuitry to enable communication.
