Abstract

A method and apparatus of a terminal and a base station in a mobile communication system are provided. The method for measurement by the terminal includes receiving, from a base station, measurement information including a measurement interval for a deactivated cell, determining a measurement period using the measurement interval, and measuring a signal of the deactivated cell. The measurement period is equal to a value acquired by multiplying the measurement interval by a predefined value greater than 1.

Claims (26)

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

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

determining a measurement period using the measurement interval; and

measuring a signal of the deactivated cell,

wherein the measurement period is equal to a value 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 during the measurement period.

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

a receiver configured to receive a signal; and

a controller configured to control receiving measurement information including a measurement interval for a deactivated cell from a base station, determining a measurement period using the measurement interval, and measuring the signal of the deactivated cell,

wherein the measurement period is equal to a value 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 control measuring the signal of the deactivated cell during the measurement period.

7. A method for measurement 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 determined using the measurement interval at a terminal, and

wherein the measurement period is equal to a value acquired 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 is performed by the terminal measuring a signal of the deactivated cell during the measurement period.

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

a transmitter configured to transmit a signal; and

a controller configured to control transmitting measurement information for the deactivated cell,

wherein a measurement period for the measurement of the deactivated cell is determined using the measurement interval at a terminal, and

wherein the measurement period is equal to a value acquired 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 is performed by the terminal measuring the signal of the deactivated cell during the measurement period.
