Wireless communication terminal, wireless communication base station, wireless communication system, and reporting method
In a wireless communication terminal in a wireless communication system for performing a control not to transmit signals, or to transmit signals with a reduction in a transmission power by a part of radio resources for a downlink signal in a cell provided by a base station, the terminal receives control information in generating a report related to a measurement result of the cell provided by the base station, monitors a state of a radio link with an own cell, and performs measurement on reception of the downlink signal. If an instruction for restricting the measurement to a part of the radio resources is included in the control information from the base station after the radio link failure occurs, the terminal generates and transmits a radio link failure report including the measurement result in the radio resources as instructed when the radio link failure occurs.
1. A wireless communication terminal comprising:
a receiver which, in operation, receives control information regarding a report related to measurement of communication cells, which include a primary cell (PCell) and at least one secondary cell (SCell) when carrier aggregation (CA) is configured by a wireless communication base station;
a controller coupled to the receiver and which, in operation,
monitors a radio link with the PCell;
performs measurement on downlink signals of the PCell and the at least one SCell; and
generates a radio link failure report when a radio link failure occurs in the PCell;
wherein when the received control information includes an instruction to restrict the measurement of the PCell to a portion of radio resources of the PCell, the radio link failure report includes a measurement result of the portion of the radio resources of the PCell; and
a transmitter coupled to the controller and which, in operation, transmits the radio link failure report.
2. The wireless communication terminal according to claim 1 , wherein
the portion of the radio resources of the PCell includes a subframe, in which no downlink signals are transmitted or downlink signals are transmitted at a reduced transmission power in the PCell.
3. The wireless communication terminal according to claim 1 , wherein
the portion of the radio resources of the PCell includes a subframe, in which no downlink signals are transmitted or downlink signals are transmitted at a low transmission power in a neighboring cell.
4. The wireless communication terminal according to claim 1 , wherein
when the received control information includes the instruction to restrict the measurement of the PCell to the portion of the radio resources of the PCell, the controller generates the radio link failure report which includes a measurement result of resources of a neighboring cell corresponding to the portion of the radio resources of the PCell.
5. A reporting method of a wireless communication terminal, the reporting method comprising:
receiving control information regarding a report related to measurement of communication cells, which include a primary cell (PCell) and at least one secondary cell (SCell) when carrier aggregation (CA) is configured by a wireless communication base station;
monitoring a radio link with the PCell;
performing measurement on downlink signals of the PCell and the at least one SCell;
generating a radio link failure report when a radio link failure occurs in the PCell,
wherein when the received control information includes an instruction to restrict the measurement of the PCell to a portion of radio resources of the PCell, the radio link failure report includes a measurement result of the portion of the radio resources of the PCell; and
transmitting the radio link failure report.
6. The reporting method according to claim 5 , wherein
the portion of the radio resources of the PCell includes a subframe, in which no downlink signals are transmitted or downlink signals are transmitted at a reduced transmission power in a neighboring cell.
7. The reporting method according to claim 5 , wherein
the portion of the radio resources of the PCell includes a subframe, in which no downlink signals are transmitted or downlink signals are transmitted at a low transmission power in the at least one SCell.
8. The reporting method according to claim 5 , wherein
when the received control information includes the instruction to restrict the measurement of the PCell to the portion of the radio resources of the PCell, the radio link failure report includes a measurement result of resources of a neighboring cell corresponding to the portion of the radio resources of the PCell.
