Abstract

A method for measuring a signal of a deactivated cell by a terminal in a mobile communication system supporting carrier aggregation is provided. The method includes receiving measurement information including a measurement interval for the deactivated cell, from a base station, acquiring a measurement period using the measurement interval, measuring the signal of the deactivated cell, and generating a filtered measurement result based on the measurement period.

Claims (24)

1. A method by a terminal in a mobile communication system, the method comprising:

receiving measurement information including a measurement interval for a deactivated cell, from a base station;

acquiring a measurement period using the measurement interval;

measuring the signal of the deactivated cell; and

generating a filtered measurement result based on the measurement period,

wherein the measurement period is acquired by multiplying the measurement interval by a predefined value greater than 1.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the predefined value is 5.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the measuring comprises measuring the signal of the deactivated cell at the measurement interval, during the measurement period.

4. A terminal in a mobile communication system, the terminal comprising:

a transceiver configured to receive a signal; and

a controller configured to receive measurement information, including a measurement interval for a deactivated cell, from a base station, to acquire a measurement period using the measurement interval, to measure the signal of the deactivated cell, and to generate a filtered measurement result based on the measurement period,

wherein the measurement period is acquired by multiplying the measurement interval by a predefined value greater than 1.

5. The terminal of claim 4 , wherein the predefined value is 5.

6. The terminal of claim 4 , wherein the controller is configured to measure the signal of the deactivated cell at the measurement interval, during the measurement period.

7. A method by a base station in a mobile communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting measurement information including a measurement interval for a deactivated cell, wherein a measurement period for the measurement of the deactivated cell is acquired at a terminal by multiplying the measurement interval by a predefined value greater than 1.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the predefined value is 5.

9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the measurement comprises measuring the signal of the deactivated cell at the measurement interval, during the measurement period.

10. A base station in a mobile communication system, the base station comprising:

a transceiver configured to transmit measurement information including a measurement interval for a deactivated cell; and

a controller configured to controlling an operation of transmitting the measurement information for the deactivated cell,

wherein a measurement period for the measurement of the deactivated cell is acquired at a terminal by multiplying the measurement interval by a predefined value greater than 1.

11. The base station of claim 10 , wherein the predefined value is 5.

12. The base station of claim 10 , wherein the measurement comprises measuring the signal of the deactivated cell at the measurement interval, during the measurement period.
