Abstract
There is provided a reception quality measurement method that measures reception quality of a measurement target cell with a mobile terminal apparatus. The method includes performing reception quality measurements in a certain bandwidth with respect to each of a plurality of frequencies in a frequency band of the measurement target cell when the frequency band of the measurement target cell and a frequency band of a neighboring cell overlap with each other, and averaging results of the reception quality measurements at the plurality of frequencies to obtain an averaged value as the reception quality of the measurement target cell.
Claims14
A reception quality measurement method for measuring reception quality of a measurement target cell at a mobile terminal apparatus, the reception quality measurement method to be implemented via one or more processors for mobile communications, the reception quality measurement method comprising:
- performing, via the one or more processors, reception quality measurements in a bandwidth with respect to each of a plurality of frequencies in a center frequency band of the measurement target cell, when the frequency band of the measurement target cell and a frequency band of a neighboring cell overlap each other;
- averaging, via the one or more processors, results of the reception quality measurements at the plurality of frequencies so as to obtain an averaged value as the reception quality of the measurement target cell for the mobile communications;
- and
- providing the averaged value as the reception quality of the measurement target cell for use in cell reselection.
A mobile terminal configured to measure reception quality of a measurement target cell, the mobile terminal comprising:
- a measurement module comprising one or more processors and configured to perform reception quality measurements in a bandwidth with respect to each of a plurality of frequencies in a center frequency band of the measurement target cell, when the frequency band of the measurement target cell and a band of a neighboring cell overlap each other;
- and
- an averaging module comprising the one or more processors and configured to:
- average results of the reception quality measurements at the plurality of frequencies so as to obtain an averaged value as the reception quality of the measurement target cell for mobile communications, and
- provide the averaged value as the reception quality of the measurement target cell in cell reselection.
