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 (26)

1. A wireless communication terminal comprising:

a receiver which, in operation, receives control information regarding a report related to a measurement result of a communication cell supported by a wireless communication base station;

a controller coupled to the receiver and which, in operation,

monitors a radio link with a primary cell, which is a communication cell in connection with the wireless communication terminal;

performs measurement on downlink signals; and

generates a radio link failure report including a measurement result when a radio link failure occurs in the primary cell; and

a transmitter coupled to the controller and which, in operation, transmits the radio link failure report, wherein

if the control information includes an instruction to restrict measurement to a portion of radio resources, the controller generates the radio link failure report including a measurement result of the portion of radio resources.

2. The wireless communication terminal according to claim 1 , wherein

the portion of radio resources includes a subframe, in which no downlink signals are transmitted or downlink signals are transmitted at a reduced transmission power in the primary cell.

3. The wireless communication terminal according to claim 1 , wherein

the portion 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 neighboring cell.

4. The wireless communication terminal according to claim 1 , wherein

if the control information includes the instruction to restrict measurement to the portion of radio resources, the controller generates the radio link failure report including a measurement result of the portion of radio resources in a neighboring cell.

5. A reporting method of a wireless communication terminal, the reporting method comprising:

receiving control information regarding a report related to a measurement result of a communication cell supported by a wireless communication base station;

monitoring a radio link with a primary cell, which is a communication cell in connection with the wireless communication terminal;

performing measurement on downlink signals;

if the control information includes an instruction to restrict measurement to a portion of radio resources, generating a radio link failure report including a measurement result of the portion of radio resources; and

transmitting the radio link failure report.

6. The reporting method according to claim 5 , wherein

the portion of radio resources includes a subframe, in which no downlink signals are transmitted or downlink signals are transmitted at a reduced transmission power in the primary cell.

7. The reporting method according to claim 5 , wherein

the portion 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 neighboring cell.

8. The reporting method according to claim 5 , wherein

if the control information includes the instruction to restrict measurement to the portion of radio resources, the generating includes generating the radio link failure report including a measurement result of the portion of radio resources in a neighboring cell.
