Abstract

In a wireless communication terminal in a wireless communication system for performing a control not to transmit signals, or to transmit signals with a reduction in a transmission power by a part of radio resources for a downlink signal in a cell provided by a base station, the terminal receives control information in generating a report related to a measurement result of the cell provided by the base station, monitors a state of a radio link with an own cell, and performs measurement on reception of the downlink signal. If an instruction for restricting the measurement to a part of the radio resources is included in the control information from the base station after the radio link failure occurs, the terminal generates and transmits a radio link failure report including the measurement result in the radio resources as instructed when the radio link failure occurs.

Claims (11)

1. An integrated circuit structured to control operation of a wireless communication terminal, the integrated circuit comprising circuitry which, in operation, executes a process comprising:

receiving control information for generating a report related to a measurement result of a communication cell provided by a wireless communication base station;

monitoring a state of a radio link with an own cell, which is a communication cell that is in connection with the wireless communication terminal;

performing measurement on a downlink signal in the communication cell provided by the wireless communication base station;

generating a radio link failure report including a measurement result when a radio link failure occurs in the own cell;

transmitting the radio link failure report; and

if the control information includes an instruction to restrict measurement to a part of radio resources, after the radio link failure occurs, generating the radio link failure report including a measurement result in the part of radio resources.

2. The integrated circuit according to claim 1 , wherein the part of radio resources includes a subframe, in which the wireless communication base station transmits no downlink signals, or transmits downlink signals at a reduced transmission power in the own cell.

3. The integrated circuit according to claim 1 , wherein the part of radio resources includes a subframe, in which no downlink signals are transmitted, or downlink signals are transmitted at a low transmission power in a communication cell that neighbors the own cell.

4. The integrated circuit according to claim 1 , further comprising:

if the control information related to the own cell includes the instruction to restrict measurement to the part of radio resources, generating the radio link failure report including a measurement result in the part of radio resources in a communication cell that neighbors the own cell.
