Abstract

Embodiments herein provide techniques and requirements for radio resource management (RRM) measurements. For example, embodiments include techniques and requirements associated with: channel state information (CSI)-reference signal (RS) based inter-frequency RRM measurements when the CSI-RS bandwidth and the active downlink (DL) bandwidth part (BWP) are partially overlapped; adaptive RRM CSI-RS configuration and DL gap allocation by user equipment (UE) capability indication; and/or neighboring cell RRM CSI-RS measurement requirements when serving cell RRM CSI-RS is not configured. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

Claims (21)

1. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media (NTCRM) having instructions, stored thereon, that when executed by one or more processors cause a user equipment (UE) to:

determine a resource block (RB) allocation for a radio resource management (RRM) channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS);

determine a bandwidth configuration for a serving cell in an active downlink (DL) bandwidth part (BWP), wherein the RB allocation for the RRM CSI-RS partially overlaps with the bandwidth configuration; and

select a measurement mode for performing an RRM measurement on the CSI-RS, wherein the measurement mode is a selected one of:

a first measurement mode in which reception of active DL BWP is interrupted for a measurement gap and the RRM CSI-RS is measured within the measurement gap; or

a second measurement mode in which only a portion of the RRM CSI-RS that overlaps with the bandwidth configuration of the active DL BWP is measured;

wherein the measurement mode is selected based on a number of RBs in the RB allocation that are overlapped with the bandwidth configuration.

2. The one or more NTCRM of claim 1 , wherein the first measurement mode is selected if the number of RBs is less than a threshold and the second measurement mode is selected if the number of RBs is greater than the threshold.

3. The one or more NTCRM of claim 1 , wherein the instructions, when executed, are further to cause the UE to perform the RRM measurement on the CSI-RS according to the selected measurement mode.

4. The one or more NTCRM of claim 1 , wherein the RRM measurement is performed on the entire RB allocation for the RRM CSI-RS in the first measurement mode.

5. The one or more NTCRM of claim 1 , wherein in the second measurement mode the active DL BWP is received in RBs of the active DL BWP that overlap with the RB allocation for the RRM CSI-RS.

6. The one or more NTCRM of claim 1 , wherein the RRM CSI-RS is transmitted on a different cell from the active DL BWP.

7. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media (NTCRM) having instructions, stored thereon, that when executed by one or more processors cause a user equipment (UE) to:

determine a resource block (RB) allocation for a radio resource management (RRM) channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS);

determine a bandwidth configuration for a serving cell in an active downlink (DL) bandwidth part (BWP), wherein the RB allocation for the RRM CSI-RS partially overlaps with the bandwidth configuration;

identify that a number of RBs in the RB allocation that are overlapped with the bandwidth configuration is greater than a threshold; and

based on the identification:

interrupt reception of the active DL BWP for a measurement gap; and

perform an RRM measurement on the RRM CSI-RS during the measurement gap.

8. The one or more NTCRM of claim 7 , wherein the RRM measurement is performed on the entire RB allocation for the RRM CSI-RS.

9. The one or more NTCRM of claim 7 , wherein the RRM CSI-RS is transmitted on a different cell from the active DL BWP.
