Configuration of mobility management measurement method

1. A user equipment (UE) configured to operate in an E-UTRA network, wherein the UE is configured to

transmit, to the E-UTRA network, a capability indication message indicating that the UE is capable of receiving, from the E-UTRA network, a measurement configuration message comprised in a radio resource control (RRC) configuration message, wherein the measurement configuration message comprises an instruction that the wireless communication device should use a first or a second Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ) measurement method, wherein

in the first method, a receive signal strength indicator (RSSI) is measured only from orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols containing reference symbols for antenna port 0; and

in the second method, the RSSI is measured over all 01-DM symbols in a subframe;

receive the RRC configuration message comprising said measurement configuration message;

perform the RSRQ measurement method specified in the instruction; and

send, to the E-UTRA network, a measurement report message indicating a result of the RSRQ measurement.

2. The UE according to claim 1 , wherein the UE is configured to, in each of the first RSRQ measurement method and the second RSRQ measurement method, measure the RSSI and determine the RSRQ in response to the measured RSSI.

3. The UE according to claim 1 , wherein the UE is a mobile telephone.

4. A network node configured to operate in an E-UTRA network, wherein the network node is configured to:

receive, from a user equipment (UE) configured to operate in the E-UTRA network, a capability indication message indicating that the UE is capable of receiving, from the E-UTRA network, a measurement configuration message comprised in a radio resource control (RRC) configuration message, wherein the measurement configuration message comprises an instruction that the wireless communication device should use a first or a second Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ) measurement method, wherein

in the first RSRQ measurement method, a receive signal strength indicator (RSSI) is measured only from orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols containing reference symbols for antenna port 0; and

in the second RSRQ measurement method, the RSSI is measured over all OFDM symbols in a subframe;

send the RRC configuration message comprising said measurement configuration message to the UE; and

receive, from the UE, a measurement report message indicating a result of the RSRQ measurement.

5. The network node according to claim 4 , wherein the network node is an eNodeB.

6. A method performed by a user equipment (UE) configured to operate in an E-UTRA network, the method comprising:

transmitting, to the E-UTRA network, a capability indication message indicating that the UE is capable of receiving, from the E-UTRA network, a measurement configuration message comprised in a radio resource control (RRC) configuration message, wherein the measurement configuration message comprises an instruction that the wireless communication device should use a first or a second Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ) measurement method, wherein:

in the first (RSRQ) measurement method, a receive signal strength indicator (RSSI) is measured only from orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols containing reference symbols for antenna port 0; and

in the second (RSRQ) measurement method, the RSSI is measured over all OFDM symbols in a subframe;

receiving the RRC configuration message comprising said measurement configuration message;

performing the RSRQ measurement method specified in the instruction; and

sending, to the E-UTRA network, a measurement report message indicating a result of the RSRQ measurement.

7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the UE is a mobile telephone.

8. The method according to claim 6 , wherein each of the first RSRQ measurement method and the second RSRQ measurement method comprises:

measuring the RSSI; and

determining the RSRQ in response to the measured RSSI.

9. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the UE is a mobile telephone.

10. A method performed by a network node configured to operate in an E-UTRA network, the method comprising:

receiving, from a user equipment (UE) configured to operate in the E-UTRA network, a capability indication message indicating that the UE is capable of receiving, from the E-UTRA network, a measurement configuration message comprised in a radio resource control (RRC) configuration message, wherein the measurement configuration message comprises an instruction that the wireless communication device should use a first or a second Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ) measurement method, wherein

in the first RSRQ measurement method, a receive signal strength indicator (RSSI) is measured only from orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols containing reference symbols for antenna port 0; and

in the second RSRQ measurement method, the RSSI is measured over all OFDM symbols in a subframe;

sending the RRC configuration message comprising said measurement configuration message to the UE; and

receiving, from the UE, a measurement report message indicating a result of the RSRQ measurement.
