Abstract

There is disclosed a method of operating a user equipment in a radio access network. The method includes transmitting measurement reporting, the measurement reporting pertaining to a measurement time interval. The measurement time interval is determined based on a SS block configuration. The disclosure also pertains to related methods and devices.

Claims (27)

1. A method of operating a user equipment in a radio access network, the method comprising:

transmitting measurement reporting, the measurement reporting pertaining to a measurement time interval, the measurement time interval being determined based on a Synchronization Signaling, SS, block configuration; and

the measurement time interval covering transmission not included in an SS block.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the measurement time interval at least one of comprises and overlaps with at least one SS block in time.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the measurement time interval at least one of comprises and overlaps with a time interval between two SS blocks.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein measurement reporting is based on measurements performing during the measurement time interval, and configured by the measurement configuration.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the SS block configuration configures synchronisation signaling.

6. A computer storage medium storing a computer program comprising instructions that, when executed, causes processing circuitry to at least one of control and perform a method of operating a user equipment in a radio access network, the method comprising:

transmitting measurement reporting, the measurement reporting pertaining to a measurement time interval, the measurement time interval being determined based on a Synchronization Signaling, SS, block configuration; and

the measurement time interval covering transmission not included in an SS block.

7. A user equipment for a radio access network, the user equipment being configured to:

transmit measurement reporting, the measurement reporting pertaining to a measurement time interval, the measurement time interval being determined based on a Synchronization Signaling, SS, block configuration; and

the measurement time interval covering transmission not included in an SS block.

8. The user equipment according to claim 7 , wherein the measurement time interval at least one of comprises and overlaps with at least one SS block in time.

9. The user equipment according to claim 7 , wherein the measurement time interval at least one of comprises and overlaps with a time interval between two SS blocks.

10. The user equipment according to claim 7 , wherein measurement reporting is based on measurements performing during the measurement time interval, and configured by the measurement configuration.

11. The user equipment according to claim 7 , wherein the SS block configuration configures synchronisation signaling.

12. A method of operating a radio node in a radio access network, the method comprising:

configuring a user equipment with a measurement configuration, the measurement configuration indicating a measurement time interval, the measurement time interval being determined based on a SS Synchronization Signaling, SS, block configuration; and

the measurement time interval covering transmission not included in an SS block.

13. The method according to claim 12 , wherein the measurement time interval at least one of comprises and overlaps with at least one SS block in time.

14. The method according to claim 12 , wherein the measurement time interval at least one of comprises and overlaps with a time interval between two SS blocks.

15. The method according to claim 12 , wherein measurement reporting is based on measurements performing during the measurement time interval, and configured by the measurement configuration.

16. The method according to claim 12 , wherein the SS block configuration configures synchronisation signaling.

17. A radio node in a radio access network, the radio node being configured to:

configure a user equipment with a measurement configuration, the measurement configuration indicating a measurement time interval, the measurement time interval being determined based on a Synchronization Signaling, SS, block configuration; and

the measurement time interval covering transmission not included in an SS block.
