Abstract

A method and apparatus for performing measurement are disclosed. The method for performing radio link monitoring by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system includes: performing cancellation of a reference signal (RS) of a neighbor cell; and determining whether to declare a radio link failure (RLF) on the basis of a reference signal (RS) of a serving cell by using information of a predetermined power ratio related to the neighbor cell.

Claims (31)

1. A method for performing radio link monitoring by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving predetermined power ratio information of a neighbor cell from a serving cell, wherein the predetermined power ratio information includes a ratio of a transmission power of a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) of the neighbor cell to a transmission power of a cell-specific reference signal (CRS) of the neighbor cell;

measuring a CRS of the serving cell;

performing cancellation of the CRS of the neighbor cell from the CRS of the serving cell;

calculating a signal-to-interference plus noise ratio (SINR) of the serving cell using the predetermined power ratio information and the CRS of the serving cell; and

determining whether to declare a radio link failure (RLF) for the serving cell based on the SINR of the serving cell.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the predetermined power ratio information is transmitted to the UE through higher layer signaling.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the neighbor cell is a cell used as an interference source when the UE receives the CRS of the serving cell.

4. A method for receiving system information by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving predetermined power ratio information of a neighbor cell from a serving cell, wherein the predetermined power ratio information includes a ratio of a transmission power of a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) of the neighbor cell to a transmission power of a cell-specific reference signal (CRS) of the neighbor cell;

performing cancellation of a physical broadcast channel (PBCH) signal of the neighbor cell;

performing a channel estimation of the serving cell based on the cancellation and the predetermined power ratio information; and

receiving system information through a PBCH of the serving cell based on the channel estimation.

5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the serving cell and the neighbor cell are identical in terms of at least one of a radio frame and a subframe boundary.

6. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the predetermined power ratio information is transmitted to the UE through higher layer signaling.

7. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the neighbor cell is a cell used as an interference source when the UE receives a CRS of the serving cell.

8. A user equipment (UE) apparatus for use in a wireless communication system, the UE apparatus comprising:

a receiver; and

a processor configured to:

control the receiver to receive a predetermined power ratio information of a neighbor cell from a serving cell, wherein the predetermined power ratio information includes a ratio of a transmission power of a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) of the neighbor cell to a transmission power of a cell-specific reference signal (CRS) of the neighbor cell,

measure a CRS of the serving cell,

perform cancellation of the CRS of the neighbor cell from the CRS of the serving cell,

calculate a signal-to-interference plus noise ratio (SINR) of the serving cell using the predetermined power ratio information and the CRS of the serving cell, and

determine whether to declare a radio link failure (RLF) for the serving cell of the UE based on based on the SINR of the serving cell.

9. A user equipment (UE) apparatus for use in a wireless communication system, the UE apparatus comprising:

a receiver; and

a processor configured to:

control the receiver to receive a predetermined power ratio information of a neighbor cell from a serving cell, wherein the predetermined power ratio information includes a ratio of a transmission power of a cell-specific reference signal (CRS) of the neighbor cell;

perform cancellation of a physical broadcast channel (PBCH) signal of the neighbor cell,

perform a channel estimation of the serving cell based on the cancellation and the predetermined power ratio information, and

receive system information through a PBCH of the serving cell based on the channel estimation.
