Abstract
In accordance with an example embodiment of the present invention, an apparatus places an indication of a wireless communication system cell measurement in a measurement report message, where the indication comprises a corresponding frequency index, and a first part and a second part of an m-bit value representing a physical layer cell identification in a first and a second field, respectively, and a k-bit value representing a measurement result in the second field corresponding to the index. The apparatus then sends the measurement report message to a network interface.
Claims21
A method comprising:
- placing an indication of a wireless communication system cell measurement in a measurement report message, wherein the indication includes a corresponding frequency index, and where said measurement report message comprises a first part and a second part of an m-bit value representing a physical layer cell identification in a first and a second field, respectively, and a k-bit value representing a measurement result in the second field corresponding to the frequency index, wherein m and k are whole numbers, wherein the frequency index is a broadcast control channel allocation index, and wherein the first field is a base station identity code field and the second field is a received signal level field;
- and
- sending the measurement report message towards a network interface.
A non-transitory computer memory embodying a computer program executable to
- place an indication of a wireless communication system cell measurement in a measurement report message, wherein the indication includes a corresponding frequency index, and where said measurement report message comprises a first part and a second part of an m-bit value representing a physical layer cell identification in a first and a second field, respectively, and a k-bit value representing a measurement result in the second field corresponding to the frequency index, wherein m and k are whole numbers, wherein the frequency index is a broadcast control channel allocation index, and wherein the first field is a base station identity code field and the second field is a received signal level field;
- and
- send the measurement report message towards a network interface.
An apparatus, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one non-transitory memory including computer program code,
- the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to perform:
- place an indication of a wireless communication system cell measurement in a measurement report message, wherein the indication includes a corresponding frequency index, and where said measurement report message comprises a first part and a second part of an m-bit value representing a physical layer cell identification in a first and a second field, respectively, and a k-bit value representing a measurement result in the second field corresponding to the frequency index, wherein m and k are whole numbers, wherein the frequency index is a broadcast control channel allocation index, and wherein the first field is a base station identity code field and the second field is a received signal level field;
- and
- send the measurement report message towards a network interface.
