Abstract

A mobile station apparatus provided in a mobile communication system that includes a base station apparatus and the mobile station apparatus, where the mobile station apparatus is configured to perform communications with the base station apparatus by using a plurality of frequencies together and the plurality of frequencies being configured by the base station apparatus. The mobile station apparatus includes a first circuitry configured or programmed to notify the base station apparatus of a mobile station apparatus capability indicating measurement ability for first measurement or second measurement on the communication, where the first measurement using a measurement gap and the second measurement not using a measurement gap. The mobile station apparatus also includes a second circuitry configured or programmed to perform the first measurement or the second measurement, based on information for the measurement gap, reception quality of one of the frequencies and the measurement ability.

Claims (15)

1. A mobile station apparatus provided in a mobile communication system that includes a base station apparatus and the mobile station apparatus, wherein the mobile station apparatus is configured to perform communications with the base station apparatus by using a plurality of frequencies together and the plurality of frequencies being configured by the base station apparatus, the mobile station apparatus comprising:

a first circuitry configured or programmed to notify the base station apparatus of a mobile station apparatus capability indicating measurement ability for first measurement or second measurement on the communication, wherein

the first measurement is performed by using a measurement gap, and

the second measurement is performed by not using a measurement gap; and

a second circuitry configured or programmed to perform the first measurement or the second measurement, based on information for the measurement gap, reception quality of one of the frequencies and the measurement ability.

2. A processing method performed in a mobile station apparatus provided in a mobile communication system that includes a base station apparatus and the mobile station apparatus, wherein the mobile station apparatus is configured to perform communications with the base station apparatus by using a plurality of frequencies together and the plurality of frequencies being configured by the base station apparatus, the processing method comprising:

notifying the base station apparatus of a mobile station apparatus capability indicating measurement ability for first measurement or second measurement on the communication, wherein

the first measurement is performed by using a measurement gap, and

the second measurement is performed by not using a measurement gap; and

performing the first measurement or the second measurement, based on information for the measurement gap, reception quality of one of the frequencies and the measurement ability.

3. A processing device mounted in a mobile station apparatus provided in a mobile communication system that includes a base station apparatus and the mobile station apparatus, wherein the mobile station apparatus is configured to perform communications with the base station apparatus by using a plurality of frequencies together and the plurality of frequencies being configured by the base station apparatus, the processing device comprising:

a first circuitry configured or programmed to notify the base station apparatus of a mobile station apparatus capability indicating measurement ability for first measurement or second measurement on the communication, wherein

the first measurement is performed by using a measurement gap, and

the second measurement is performed by not using a measurement gap; and

a second circuitry configured or programmed to perform the first measurement or the second measurement, based on information for the measurement gap, reception quality of one of the frequencies and the measurement ability.
