Abstract

A disclosure of the present specification provides a method by which a wireless device performs measurement. The method can include: a step for receiving information about a plurality of synchronization signal (SS) burst set periods from a serving cell; and a step for performing measurements on a plurality of neighbor cells on the basis of a measurement gap length (MGL) and a measurement gap repetition period (MGRP) set on the basis of the plurality of SS burst set periods. The MGL and the MGRP can be set in consideration of one or more among L, representing the largest value among the SS burst set periods, S, representing the smallest value among the SS burst set periods, D, representing a default value of the SS burst set period, and R, representing a radio frequency (RF) switching time of the wireless device.

Claims (40)

1. A method for performing measurement, the method performed by a device and comprising:

receiving information regarding a measurement gap (MG),

wherein the MG is used for performing the measurement,

wherein the measurement is performed during a measurement gap length (MGL),

wherein a start point of the measurement is determined based on a measurement gap repetition period (MGRP); and

adjusting the start point of the measurement based on an offset,

wherein the MGL and the MGRP are configured based on one or more values among L, S, D and R,

where L denotes a greatest value among synchronization signal (SS) burst set periodicities,

where S denotes a smallest value among the SS burst set periodicities,

where D denotes a default value of the SS burst set periodicity, and

where R denotes a radio frequency (RF) switching time of the device,

wherein the MGL is configured by the equation MGL=D+2*R.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the MGRP includes one of 40 ms or 80 ms.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the MGL includes 6 ms.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein during the MGL, the device does not transmit an uplink signal and does not receive a downlink signal.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein based on L>D, the MGRP is determined by the equation MGRP=L, and

wherein based on L≤D, the MGRP is determined by the equation MGRP=N*D,

wherein N is an integer satisfying N≥2.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

identifying a new intra frequency cell based on the MG.

7. A device configured to perform measurement in a wireless communication system, the device comprising:

a transceiver; and

a controller configured to operate the transceiver to receive information regarding a measurement gap (MG),

wherein the MG is used for performing the measurement,

wherein the measurement is performed during a measurement gap length (MGL),

wherein a start point of the measurement is determined based on a measurement gap repetition period (MGRP),

wherein the controller is further configured to adjust the start point of the measurement based on an offset,

wherein the MGL and the MGRP are configured based on one or more values among L, S, D and R,

where L denotes a greatest value among synchronization signal (SS) burst set periodicities,

where S denotes a smallest value among the SS burst set periodicities,

where D denotes a default value of the SS burst set periodicity, and

where R denotes a radio frequency (RF) switching time of the device,

wherein the MGL is configured by the equation MGL=D+2*R.

8. The device of claim 7 , wherein the MGRP includes one of 40 ms or 80 ms.

9. The device of claim 7 , wherein the MGL includes 6 ms.

10. The device of claim 7 , wherein during the MGL, the device is configured to not transmit an uplink signal and not receive a downlink signal.

11. The device of claim 7 , wherein based on L>D, the MGRP is determined by the equation MGRP=L, and

wherein based on L≤D, the MGRP is determined by the equation MGRP=N*D,

wherein N is an integer satisfying N≥2.

12. The device of claim 7 , wherein the controller is further configured to identify a new intra frequency cell based on the MG.
