Abstract

The present application discloses a method of performing a measurement for radio resource management (RRM) by user equipment in a wireless communication system. In particular, the method includes: receiving information on the low-power frequency band of an adjacent cell for the RRM from a serving cell; performing a measurement on the low-power frequency band for the RRM using a reference signal received at a preset period; and reporting the result of the measurement to the serving cell.

Claims (25)

1. A method of performing a measurement for radio resource management (RRM) at a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, by the UE, information on a low power frequency band of a neighboring cell for the RRM from a serving cell;

performing, by the UE, a measurement on the low power frequency band of the neighboring cell for the RRM using a reference signal received with a predetermined period; and

reporting, by the UE, a result of the measurement to the serving cell,

wherein the information on the low power frequency band of the neighboring cell for the RRM comprises information on at least one or more resource block indexes to perform the measurement, and

wherein the at least one or more resource block indexes vary according to a change of a time resource.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the information on the low power frequency band of the neighboring cell for the RRM is valid in a subframe in which the reference signal is received.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one or more resource block indexes are defined based on a bandwidth of the serving cell, a maximum bandwidth, or a predetermined bandwidth.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, by the UE, information on the low power frequency band of the neighboring cell, which is used for receiving data, from the serving cell,

wherein the information on the low power frequency band of the neighboring cell for the RRM is valid in a subframe in which the reference signal is received, and

wherein the information on the low power frequency band of the neighboring cell, which is used for receiving the data, is valid in a subframe in which the reference signal is not received.

5. A user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a receiver configured to:

receive information on a low power frequency band of a neighboring cell for radio resource management (RRM) from a serving cell, and

receive a reference signal with a predetermined period;

a processor configured to perform a measurement on the low power frequency band of the neighboring cell for the RRM using the reference signal; and

a transmitter configured to report a result of the measurement to the serving cell,

wherein the information on the low power frequency band of the neighboring cell for the RRM comprises information on at least one or more resource block indexes to perform the measurement, and

wherein the at least one or more resource block indexes vary according to a change of a time resource.

6. The UE of claim 5 , wherein the information on the low power frequency band of the neighboring cell for the RRM is valid in a subframe in which the reference signal is received.

7. The UE of claim 5 , wherein the at least one or more resource block indexes are defined based on a bandwidth of the serving cell, a maximum bandwidth, or a predetermined bandwidth.

8. The user equipment of claim 5 , wherein the receiver is further configured to receive information on the low power frequency band of the neighboring cell, which is used for receiving data, from the serving cell,

wherein the information on the low power frequency band of the neighboring cell for the RRM is valid in a subframe in which the reference signal is received, and

wherein the information on the low power frequency band of the neighboring cell, which is used for receiving the data, is valid in a subframe in which the reference signal is not received.
