Quality based measurement definition for new radio systems
Embodiments of the present disclosure describe methods, apparatuses, storage media, and systems for quality-based measurements in new radio (NR). The measurements concern reference signal received quality (RSRQ) measurements and pertinent received signal strength indicator (RSSI) measurements, and signal-to-noise and interference measurements of synchronization signal (SS-SINR) in NR. Various embodiments describe how to measure the pertinent power levels in time domain and frequency domain. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.
1. An apparatus of baseband circuitry of an access node (AN), comprising:
means for generating a synchronization signal (SS) of a cell;
means for transmitting the SS of the cell to a user equipment (UE);
means for generating a message to indicate a configuration of a measurement window length; and
means for transmitting the message to indicate the configuration of the measurement window length to enable the UE is to measure a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) over a duration of the measurement window length, wherein the measurement window length indicates a measurement time for the UE to measure the RSSI including measurement of all orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols containing consecutive reference symbols located in a SS block of multiple SS blocks of a SS burst included in a slot in a downlink part of measurement subframes.
2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the means for transmitting the message is further to transmit the message via a radio resource control.
3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the SS of the cell includes more than one SS block to indicate reference signal information regarding the cell.
