Abstract

A device and method for a user equipment side and a base station side in wireless communication is provided. The device according to one embodiment comprises one or more processors. The processors are configured to obtain cell special dynamic offset information for wireless resource management of at least one of a serving cell and adjacent cell of a user equipment, wherein cell special dynamic offset relates to a transmission capacity of a corresponding cell, which comprises at least one of cell multi-antenna transmission performance gain and a load condition. The processors are configured to measure a reference signal of the serving cell and the adjacent cell. The processors are configured to perform cell reselection or measurement reporting based on the cell special dynamic offset and a measurement result for the serving cell and the adjacent cell according to a connection state of the user equipment.

Claims (19)

1. A device for a user equipment side in wireless communications, comprising:

circuitry configured to

acquire information of at least one of a cell specific dynamic offset of a serving cell of the user equipment and a cell specific dynamic offset of a neighboring cell of the user equipment, which is used for radio resource management, wherein the cell specific dynamic offset is related to transmission capability of a corresponding cell, and the transmission capability comprises at least one of a multi-antenna transmission performance gain of the cell and a load condition of the cell;

measure reference signals of the serving cell and the neighboring cell;

perform, based on the cell specific dynamic offset and measurement results on the serving cell and the neighboring cell, cell reselection or measurement reporting, according to a connection state of the user equipment, and

transmit, after the cell reselection is completed, an equipment capability flag indicating that the cell specific dynamic offset is taken into account when determining to a target cell of the cell reselection.

2. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the multi-antenna transmission performance gain comprises at least one of a pre-coding gain and a beam-forming gain of the cell.

3. The device according to claim 2 , wherein the cell specific dynamic offset is related to a load of the cell, wherein the greater the load is, the smaller a value of the offset is.

4. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is configured to acquire measurement configuration information from the serving cell of the user equipment in the case of a radio resource control connection state of the user equipment being connected, wherein the measurement configuration information contains the cell specific dynamic offset and measurement report configuration about a report triggering event which takes the cell specific dynamic offset into account.

5. The device according to claim 4 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to

trigger the measurement report based at least on the cell specific dynamic offset, the measurement results and the measurement report configuration.

6. The device according to claim 4 , wherein, the circuitry is further configured to

contain, in the measurement report, a measurement result on a neighboring cell meeting the report triggering event which takes the cell specific dynamic offset information into account.

7. The device according to claim 4 , wherein the measurement configuration information containing the information of the cell specific dynamic offset is contained in a RRC signaling.

8. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is configured to transmit the equipment capability flag in a RRC signaling.

9. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the measurement results comprises measurement values related to at least one of reference signal receiving power and reference signal receiving quality.

10. The device according to claim 9 , wherein the circuitry is configured to rank measured cells based on the information of the cell specific dynamic offset and the measurement results, and determine a cell to be accessed based on a ranking result.

11. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the circuitry acquires the information of the cell specific dynamic offset based on system information or historical information recorded in the user equipment.

12. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the circuitry acquires the information of the cell specific dynamic offset of the serving cell and the neighboring cell by receiving a RRC signaling from a base station of the serving cell.
