Abstract

A terminal that performs a reference signal received power (RSRP) measurement of a channel-state information reference signal, on the basis of a second measurement target configuration in a case where the second measurement target configuration is contained in a measurement object configuration, where the second measurement target configuration containing at least a first index. In addition, the terminal transmits a first measurement result with a second index, where the first measurement result includes a reference signal received power of a channel-state information reference signal based on the second measurement target configuration.

Claims (38)

1. A terminal comprising:

circuitry configured to and/or programmed to at least receive a measurement configuration and a measurement report configuration;

perform a reference signal received power (RSRP) measurement of a channel-state information reference signal (CSI-RS) specified in a measurement target configuration in a case where the measurement target configuration is contained in the measurement configuration; and

transmit a measurement report according to triggering information, wherein

the measurement target configuration contains one or a plurality of combinations, each of the combinations including information on resource elements on which the measurement is performed, a subframe on which the measurement is performed, a power of the CSI-RS and a CSI-RS measurement ID,

the measurement configuration contains a report configuration ID, which is associated with the report configuration,

the measurement report includes the RSRP of the CSI-RS and the CSI-RS measurement ID, and

the measurement report configuration includes the CSI-RS measurement ID, and the triggering information.

2. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein

the circuitry configured to and/or programmed to receive, from a first transmission point, a physical configuration for a second transmission point upon establishment or reconfiguration of connection to the second transmission point.

3. A base station comprising:

circuitry configured to and/or programmed to at least configure a measurement configuration and a measurement report configuration; and

receive a measurement report, wherein

a measurement target configuration contains one or a plurality of combinations, each of the combinations including information on resource elements on which measurement is performed, a subframe on which the measurement is performed, a power of a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) and a CSI-RS measurement ID,

the measurement configuration contains a report configuration ID, which is associated with the report configuration,

the measurement report includes a reference signal received power (RSRP) of the CSI-RS, which is specified in the measurement target configuration contained in the measurement configuration, and the CSI-RS measurement ID, and

the measurement report configuration includes the CSI-RS measurement ID, and triggering information for triggering to transmit the measurement report.

4. The base station according to claim 3 , wherein

the circuitry configured to and/or programmed to configure, to a terminal, a physical configuration for a transmission point different from the base station upon establishment or reconfiguration of connection to the transmission point.

5. A method of a terminal, the method comprising:

receiving a measurement configuration and a measurement report configuration;

performing a reference signal received power (RSRP) measurement of a channel-state information reference signal (CSI-RS) specified in a measurement target configuration in a case where the measurement target configuration is contained in the measurement configuration; and

transmitting a measurement report according to triggering information, wherein

the measurement target configuration contains one or a plurality of combinations, each of the combinations including information on resource elements on which the measurement is performed, a subframe on which the measurement is performed, a power of the CSI-RS and a CSI-RS measurement ID,

the measurement configuration contains a report configuration ID, which is associated with the report configuration,

the measurement report includes the RSRP of the CSI-RS and the CSI-RS measurement ID, and

the measurement report configuration includes the CSI-RS measurement ID, and the triggering information.

6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein

the receiving is receiving, from a first transmission point, a physical configuration for a second transmission point upon establishment or reconfiguration of connection to the second transmission point.

7. A method of a base station, the method comprising:

configuring a measurement configuration and a measurement report configuration; and

receiving a measurement report, wherein

a measurement target configuration contains one or a plurality of combinations, each of the combinations including information on resource elements on which measurement is performed, a subframe on which the measurement is performed, a power of a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) and a CSI-RS measurement ID,

the measurement configuration contains a report configuration ID, which is associated with the report configuration,

the measurement report includes a reference signal received power (RSRP) of the CSI-RS, which is specified in the measurement target configuration contained in the measurement configuration, and the CSI-RS measurement ID, and

the measurement report configuration includes the CSI-RS measurement ID, and triggering information for triggering to transmit the measurement report.

8. The method according to claim 7 , wherein

the configuring is configuring a physical configuration for a transmission point different from the base station upon establishment or reconfiguration of connection to the transmission point.
