Abstract

The present invention provides a method and user equipment for performing radio resource management. The user equipment receives a request for radio resource management for a cell, and performs radio resource management for the cell based on said request for radio resource management. The request for radio resource management includes information indicating the type of reference signal to be used in the radio resource management.

Claims (35)

1. A method for performing radio resource management by a user equipment, the method comprising:

receiving, by the user equipment, a radio resource management request for a cell; and

performing, by the user equipment, radio resource management for the cell based on the radio resource management request,

wherein the radio resource management request includes information indicating a type of a reference signal used for the radio resource management, and

wherein the radio resource management request further includes information indicating a bandwidth for a tracking reference signal of the cell when the information indicating the type of the reference signal indicates that the reference signal used for the radio resource management is the tracking reference signal.

2. The method according to claim 1 ,

wherein the information indicating the type of the reference signal indicates at least whether the reference signal used for the radio resource management is a channel state information reference signal.

3. The method according to claim 2 ,

wherein the radio resource management request further includes channel state information reference signal configuration information of the cell.

4. A user equipment for performing radio resource management, the user equipment comprising:

a radio frequency (RF) unit; and

a processor configured to control the RF unit to receive a radio resource management request for a cell,

wherein the processor is further configured to perform radio resource management for the cell based on the radio resource management request received by the RF unit,

wherein the radio resource management request includes information indicating a type of a reference signal used by the processor for performing the radio resource management, and

wherein the radio resource management request further includes information indicating a bandwidth for a tracking reference signal of the cell when the information indicating the type of the reference signal indicates that the reference signal used for the radio resource management is the tracking reference signal.

5. The user equipment according to claim 4 ,

wherein the information indicating the type of the reference signal indicates at least whether the reference signal used for the radio resource management is a channel state information reference signal.

6. The user equipment according to claim 5 ,

wherein the radio resource management request further includes channel state information reference signal configuration information of the cell.

7. A method for requesting radio resource management by a base station, the method comprising:

transmitting, by the base station, a radio resource management request for a cell,

wherein the radio resource management request includes information indicating a type of a reference signal used for radio resource management for the cell, and

wherein the radio resource management request further includes information indicating a bandwidth for a tracking reference signal of the cell when the information indicating the type of the reference signal indicates that the reference signal used for the radio resource management is the tracking reference signal.

8. The method according to claim 7 ,

wherein the information indicating the type of the reference signal indicates at least whether the reference signal used for the radio resource management is a channel state information reference signal, and

the radio resource management request further includes channel state information reference signal configuration information of the cell.

9. A base station for requesting radio resource management, the base station comprising:

a radio frequency (RF) unit; and

a processor configured to control the RF unit to transmit a radio resource management request for a cell,

wherein the radio resource management request includes information indicating a type of a reference signal used for radio resource management for the cell, and

wherein the radio resource management request further includes information indicating a bandwidth for a tracking reference signal of the cell when the information indicating the type of the reference signal indicates that the reference signal used for the radio resource management is the tracking reference signal.

10. The base station according to claim 9 ,

wherein the information indicating the type of the reference signal indicates at least whether the reference signal used for the radio resource management is a channel state information reference signal.

11. The base station according to claim 10 ,

wherein the radio resource management request further includes channel state information reference signal configuration information of the cell.
