Abstract

Provided are a method of deriving cell quality and a device supporting the method. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the method includes: detecting reference signals in a first period; detecting that a specific reference signal among the reference signals is not detected in a second period; and considering that a quality of the specific reference signal which is not detected in the second period as a quality of the specific reference signal measured in the first period.

Claims (40)

1. A method performed by a wireless device adapted to operate in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a network, a measurement configuration including measurement object information and report configuration information,

wherein the measurement object information includes i) information about a maximum number of beams to be averaged, and ii) information about a beam consolidation threshold,

wherein the report configuration information includes information about a reference signal type to be measured, and

wherein the reference signal type to be measured is one of a synchronization signal (SS)/physical broadcast channel (PBCH) block or a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS);

measuring first one or multiple beams in a first period based on the measurement configuration,

wherein the first one or multiple beams includes a specific beam;

deriving a first cell measurement quantity based on beam measurement quantity values of the measured first one or multiple beams;

applying layer 3 cell filtering to the first cell measurement quantity;

measuring second one or multiple beams in a second period based on the measurement configuration,

wherein the second one or multiple beams does not include the specific beam, and the specific beam is not measured in the second period;

determining a beam quantity measurement value of the specific beam not measured in the second period based on a beam quantity measurement value of the specific beam measured in the first period;

deriving a second cell measurement quantity based on i) beam measurement quantity values of the measured second one or multiple beams, and ii) the determined beam quantity measurement value of the specific beam not measured in the second period; and

applying layer 3 cell filtering to the second cell measurement quantity.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the wireless device operates on an unlicensed carrier.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the first one or multiple beams or the second one or multiple beams are measured when the unlicensed carrier is occupied by a network.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the beam measurement quantity value of the specific beam measured in the first period is above the beam consolidation threshold.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining the beam quantity measurement value of the specific beam not measured in the second period based on the beam quantity measurement value of the specific beam measured in the first period comprises: applying an offset to the beam quantity measurement value of the specific beam measured in the first period.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the wireless device communicates with at least one of a mobile terminal, a network or autonomous vehicles other than the wireless device.

7. A wireless device adapted to operate in a wireless communication system, the wireless device comprising:

a memory;

a transceiver; and

a processor, operably coupled to the memory and the transceiver, and configured to perform operations comprising:

receiving, from a network via the transceiver, a measurement configuration including measurement object information and report configuration information,

wherein the measurement object information includes i) information about a maximum number of beams to be averaged, and ii) information about a beam consolidation threshold,

wherein the report configuration information includes information about a reference signal type to be measured, and

wherein the reference signal type to be measured is one of a synchronization signal (SS)/physical broadcast channel (PBCH) block or a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS);

measuring first one or multiple beams in a first period based on the measurement configuration,

wherein the first one or multiple beams includes a specific beam;

deriving a first cell measurement quantity based on beam measurement quantity values of the measured first one or multiple beams;

wherein the second one or multiple beams does not include the specific beam, and the specific beam is not measured in the second period;

determining a beam quantity measurement value of the specific beam not measured in the second period based on a beam quantity measurement value of the specific beam measured in the first period;

deriving a second cell measurement quantity based on i) beam measurement quantity values of the measured second one or multiple beams, and ii) the determined beam quantity measurement value of the specific beam not measured in the second period; and

applying layer 3 cell filtering to the second cell measurement quantity.

8. The wireless device of claim 7 , wherein the wireless device operates on an unlicensed carrier.

9. The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the first one or multiple beams or the second one or multiple beams are measured when the unlicensed carrier is occupied by a network.

10. The wireless device of claim 7 , wherein the measurement quantity value of the specific beam measured in the first period is above the beam consolidation threshold.

11. The wireless device of claim 7 , wherein determining the beam quantity measurement value of the specific beam not measured in the second period based on the beam quantity measurement value of the specific beam measured in the first period comprises: applying an offset to the beam quantity measurement value of the specific beam measured in the first period.
