Abstract

According to certain embodiments, a method in a wireless device for measurement reporting comprises: receiving an instruction to perform measurement reporting for a neighbor cell: determining, based at least on a radio access technology (RAT) of the neighbor cell and a frequency range of the neighbor cell, a measurement reporting timer value for performing the measurement reporting; and measuring a radio signal of the neighbor cell during the time specified by the determined measurement reporting timer value.

Claims (43)

1. A method performed by a wireless device for measurement reporting, the method comprising:

receiving an instruction to perform measurement reporting for a neighbor cell;

receiving, from a network, a transceiver selection indication indicating which transceiver should be used for performing the measurement reporting;

selecting, based at least on the transceiver selection indication and a dual connectivity configuration of the wireless device, one of two or more transceivers for performing the measurement reporting, wherein the wireless device comprises the two or more transceivers;

determining, based at least on a radio access technology (RAT) of the neighbor cell, the selected transceiver, and a frequency range of the neighbor cell, a measurement reporting timer value for performing the measurement reporting, wherein the measurement reporting timer value is determined further based at least on a capability of the selected transceiver to retrieve the measurement reporting timer value when the neighbor cell is a non-standalone (NSA) cell not broadcasting a system information block type 1 (SIB1); and

measuring a radio signal of the neighbor cell during a time specified by the determined measurement reporting timer value;

wherein determining the measurement reporting timer value comprises determining both a first measurement reporting timer value for a neighbor cell operating at a first frequency range and a second measurement reporting timer value for a neighbor cell operating at a second frequency range; and

wherein the first frequency range comprises a 450 Megahertz to 6 Gigahertz range, the value of the first measurement reporting timer is 2 seconds, the second frequency range comprises a 24.25 Gigahertz to 52.6 Gigahertz range, and the value of the second measurement reporting timer is 16 seconds.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the measurement reporting comprises a cell global identifier (CGI) report.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the neighbor cell RAT is fifth generation (5G) new radio (NR).

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining the measurement reporting timer value based on the selected transceiver comprises determining the measurement reporting timer value based on a frequency range of the selected transceiver.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining the measurement reporting timer value based on the selected transceiver comprises determining the measurement reporting timer value based on a RAT of the selected transceiver.

6. A wireless device capable of measurement reporting, the wireless device comprising processing circuitry operable to:

receive an instruction to perform measurement reporting for a neighbor cell;

receive, from a network, a transceiver selection indication indicating which transceiver should be used for performing the measurement reporting;

select, based at least on the transceiver selection indication and a dual connectivity configuration of the wireless device, one of two or more transceivers for performing the measurement reporting, wherein the wireless device comprises the two or more transceivers;

determine, based at least on a radio access technology (RAT) of the neighbor cell, the selected transceiver, and a frequency range of the neighbor cell, a measurement reporting timer value for performing the measurement reporting, wherein the measurement reporting timer value is determined further based at least on a capability of the selected transceiver to retrieve the measurement reporting timer value when the neighbor cell is a non-standalone (NSA) cell not broadcasting a system information block type 1 (SIB1); and

measure a radio signal of the neighbor cell during a time specified by the determined measurement reporting timer value;

wherein the processing circuitry is operable to determine the measurement reporting timer value by determining both a first measurement reporting timer value for a neighbor cell operating at a first frequency range and a second measurement reporting timer value for a neighbor cell operating at a second frequency range; and

wherein the first frequency range comprises a 450 Megahertz to 6 Gigahertz range, the value of the first measurement reporting timer is 2 seconds, the second frequency range comprises a 24.25 Gigahertz to 52.6 Gigahertz range, and the value of the second measurement reporting timer is 16 seconds.

7. The wireless device of claim 6 , wherein the measurement reporting comprises a cell global identifier (CGI) report.

8. The wireless device of claim 6 , wherein the neighbor cell RAT is fifth generation (5G) new radio (NR).

9. The wireless device of claim 6 , wherein the processing circuitry is operable to determine the measurement reporting timer value based on the selected transceiver by determining the measurement reporting timer value based on a frequency range of the selected transceiver.

10. The wireless device of claim 6 , wherein the processing circuitry is operable to determine the measurement reporting timer value based on the selected transceiver by determining the measurement reporting timer value based on a RAT of the selected transceiver.

11. A method for use in a network node for measurement reporting, the method comprising:

transmitting, to a wireless device, a transceiver selection indication indicating which transceiver should be used for performing a measurement reporting;

determining that one of two or more transceivers is selected for performing the measurement reporting based at least on the transceiver selection indication and a dual connectivity configuration of the wireless device, wherein the wireless device comprises the two or more transceivers;

determining, based at least on a radio access technology (RAT) of a neighbor cell, the selected transceiver, and a frequency range of the neighbor cell, a measurement reporting timer value for the wireless device to perform measurement reporting, wherein the measurement reporting timer value is determined further based at least on a capability of the selected transceiver to retrieve the measurement reporting timer value when the neighbor cell is a non-standalone (NSA) cell not broadcasting a system information block type 1 (SIB1); and

transmitting the determined measurement reporting timer value to the wireless device;
