Abstract

Provided are a communication system, a base station apparatus, a mobile station apparatus, and a communication method where a configuration message is transmitted or received. The configuration message includes a measurement configuration, where the measurement configuration includes a measurement object and a reporting configuration. The measurement object is used to determine a first cell from among the plurality of cells, the measurement object is linked to the reporting configuration and indicates the measurement frequency, the reporting configuration includes an criterion, and the criterion triggers the mobile station apparatus to send a measurement report.

Claims (53)

1. A terminal apparatus comprising:

a wireless circuit configured to:

communicate with a base station apparatus by carrier aggregation using a plurality of serving cells, wherein

each cell of the plurality of serving cells has a different frequency, and

receive, from the base station apparatus, a configuration message including a measurement configuration, wherein

the measurement configuration includes a measurement object and a reporting configuration,

the measurement object and the reporting configuration are linked by a measurement identity,

the measurement object indicates a measurement frequency, and

the reporting configuration includes a criterion; and

a radio resource control circuit configured to:

determine a first cell from among the plurality of serving cells based on the measurement object included in the measurement configuration,

perform a measurement of the first cell, and

evaluate, by using the measurement of the first cell, whether an entry condition of an event corresponding with an event identity of the reporting configuration is fulfilled.

2. The terminal apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

a measurement report including a result of the measurement of the first cell is transmitted to the base station apparatus in a case that the entry condition of the event is fulfilled.

3. The terminal apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the entry condition of the event is evaluated by using a specific offset value for the first cell.

4. The terminal apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein

the entry condition of the event is evaluated by using a specific offset value for a cell that is not determined as the first cell.

5. The terminal apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the first cell is determined from among the plurality of serving cells based on a frequency to be measured.

6. A base station apparatus comprising:

a wireless circuit configured to:

communicate with a terminal apparatus by carrier aggregation using a plurality of serving cells, wherein

each cell of the plurality of serving cells has a different frequency, and

transmit, to the terminal apparatus, a configuration message including a measurement configuration, wherein

the measurement configuration includes a measurement object and a reporting configuration,

the measurement object and the reporting configuration are linked by a measurement identity,

the measurement object indicates a measurement frequency,

the reporting configuration includes criterion,

a first cell is determined from among the plurality of serving cells based on the measurement object, and

the first cell is measured by the terminal apparatus to evaluate, by using the measurement of the first cell, whether an entry condition of an event corresponding with an event identity of the reporting configuration is fulfilled.

7. A method performed by a terminal apparatus, the method comprising:

communicating with a base station apparatus by carrier aggregation using a plurality of serving cells, wherein

each cell of the plurality of serving cells has a different frequency;

receiving, from the base station apparatus, a configuration message including a measurement configuration, wherein

the measurement configuration includes a measurement object and a reporting configuration,

the measurement object and the reporting configuration are linked by a measurement identity,

the measurement object indicates a measurement frequency, and

the reporting configuration includes a criterion;

determining a first cell from among the plurality of serving cells based on the measurement object included in the measurement configuration;

performing a measurement of the first cell; and

evaluating, by using the measurement of the first cell, whether an entry condition of an event corresponding with an event identity of the reporting configuration is fulfilled.

8. A method performed by a base station apparatus, the method comprising:

communicating with a terminal apparatus by carrier aggregation using a plurality of serving cells, wherein

each cell of the plurality of serving cells has a different frequency; and

transmitting, to the terminal apparatus, a configuration message including a measurement configuration, wherein

the measurement configuration includes a measurement object and a reporting configuration,

the measurement object and the reporting configuration are linked by a measurement identity,

the measurement object indicates a measurement frequency,

the reporting configuration includes criterion,

a first cell is determined from among the plurality of serving cells based on the measurement object, and

the first cell is measured by the terminal apparatus to evaluate, by using the measurement of the first cell, whether an entry condition of an event corresponding with an event identity of the reporting configuration is fulfilled.
