Abstract

A method for processing a signal at a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system is disclosed. The method includes steps of receiving information on multiple first threshold values for a neighbor cell measurement from a serving cell; measuring the signal from the signal of the serving cell; comparing the measured signal with the multiple first threshold values and multiple second threshold values of a cell enhancement (CE) mode; and performing the neighbor cell measurement for a cell reselection or a change of the CE mode according to a result of comparing.

Claims (21)

1. A method for processing a signal at a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving information on multiple first threshold values for a neighbor cell measurement from a serving cell;

measuring the signal of the serving cell;

comparing the measured signal with the multiple first threshold values and multiple second threshold values of a cell enhancement (CE) mode; and

performing the neighbor cell measurement for a cell reselection or a change of the CE mode according to a result of comparing,

wherein if the measured signal is less than one first threshold value and is greater than one second threshold value corresponding to the one first threshold value, the neighbor cell measurement is performed, and

wherein if the measured signal is less than the one second threshold value, the change of the CE mode is performed.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the multiple first threshold values have one to one relations with the multiple second threshold values.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one first threshold value is greater than the one second threshold value.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein each of the multiple first threshold values corresponds to a value for triggering one of inter-frequency measurement, intra-frequency measurement, inter-radio access technology (RAT) measurement or inter-public land mobile network (PLMN) measurement.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein a number of resources for the changed CE mode is greater than a number of resources for the current CE mode.

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

a radio frequency (RF) unit configured to transmit/receive a signal to/from a network; and

a processor configured to process the signal,

wherein the processor stores multiple first threshold values for a neighbor cell measurement received from a serving cell, measures the signal of the serving cell, compares the measured signal with multiple first threshold values for a neighbor cell measurement and multiple second threshold values of a cell enhancement (CE) mode, and performs the neighbor cell measurement for a cell reselection or a change of the CE mode according to a result of comparing,

wherein if the measured signal is less than one first threshold value and is greater than one second threshold value corresponding to the one first threshold value, the processor performs the neighbor cell measurement, and

wherein if the measured signal is less than the one second threshold value, the processor performs the change of the CE mode.

7. The UE of claim 6 , wherein the multiple first threshold values have one to one relations with the multiple second threshold values.

8. The UE of claim 6 , wherein the one first threshold value is greater than the one second threshold value.

9. The UE of claim 6 , wherein a number of resources for the changed CE mode is greater than a number of resources for the current CE mode.

10. The UE of claim 6 , wherein each of the multiple first threshold values corresponds to a value for triggering one of inter-frequency measurement, intra-frequency measurement, inter-radio access technology (RAT) measurement or inter-public land mobile network (PLMN) measurement.
