Abstract
A method, user equipment, network device, and software product employ indicators from a plurality of respective cells to indicate a difference, if any, regarding allocation in the respective cell as compared to neighbor cells. Mobility measurements are then performed according to the indicators, and also on the basis of configuration of a cell where the measurements are performed.
Claims22
A method comprising:
- receiving, at a user equipment in a cell, an indicator representing whether a sub-frame allocation in the cell differs from another sub-frame allocation in one or more neighboring cells;
- and
- performing, at the user equipment, measurements based on at least the received indicator and cell configuration,
- wherein the measurements are mobility related neighbor cell measurements, wherein the received indicator defines one or more reference symbols in the sub-frame allocation and the another sub-frame allocation to measure, and wherein the sub-frame allocation comprises at least one of a multicast broadcast single frequency network sub-frame allocation and a unicast sub-frame allocation.
1 more element
An apparatus comprising:
- a transceiver configured to receive an indicator representing whether a sub-frame allocation in a cell differs from another sub-frame allocation in one or more neighboring cells;
- and
- a measurement module configured to perform measurements based on at least the received indicator and cell configuration,
- wherein the measurements are mobility related neighbor cell measurements, wherein the received indicator defines one or more reference symbols in the sub-frame allocation and the another sub-frame allocation to measure, and wherein the sub-frame allocation comprises at least one of a multicast broadcast single frequency network sub-frame allocation and a unicast sub-frame allocation.
1 more element
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising executable code which when executed by a processor provides operations comprising:
- receiving an indicator representing whether a sub-frame allocation in a cell differs from another sub-frame allocation in one or more neighboring cells;
- and
- performing measurements on one or more reference symbols, the measurements performed based on at least the received indicator,
- wherein the measurements are mobility related neighbor cell measurements, wherein the received indicator defines one or more reference symbols in the sub-frame allocation and the another sub-frame allocation to measure, and wherein the sub-frame allocation comprises at least one of a multicast broadcast single frequency network sub-frame allocation and a unicast sub-frame allocation.
