Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive control signaling indicating a measurement configuration for minimization of drive test measurement and reporting supporting broadcast receptions within a single-frequency network. The UE may determine, based at least in part on the measurement configuration, a set of measurements for the single-frequency network. The UE may transmit a minimization of drive test report indicating the set of measurements.

Claims (55)

1. A method for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:

receiving control signaling indicating a measurement configuration for minimization of drive test measurement and reporting supporting broadcast receptions within a single-frequency network;

performing, while operating in a connected mode and based at least in part on the measurement configuration, minimization of drive test measurements of the single-frequency network for the broadcast receptions to determine a set of measurements for the single-frequency network; and

transmitting, while operating in the connected mode, a minimization of drive test report indicating the set of measurements, wherein the minimization of drive test report indicates a multicast transmission/retransmission success ratio, a unicast transmission/retransmission success ratio, or a combination thereof.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

performing minimization of drive test measurements of the single-frequency network while operating in an inactive mode or an idle mode, wherein the set of measurements are based at least in part on the minimization of drive test measurements.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

transmitting, based at least in part on the broadcast receptions within the single-frequency network, an indication that the minimization of drive test report is available.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

logging minimization of drive test measurements performed while operating in an inactive mode or an idle mode to obtain logged minimization of drive test measurements that support broadcast receptions within the single-frequency network.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the minimization of drive test report indicates the set of measurements on a per-beam basis for the broadcast receptions within the single-frequency network.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

identifying a trigger event associated with the broadcast receptions within the single-frequency network that has satisfied a threshold, wherein determining the set of measurements is triggered based at least in part on the trigger event satisfying the threshold.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the trigger event is based on at least one of a reference signal received power level, a reference signal received quality level, a signal-to-interference-to-noise level, a data volume, a block level error rate, or a combination, for the broadcast receptions within the single-frequency network.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving a second control signaling indicating a second measurement configuration for minimization of drive test measurement and reporting supporting unicast receptions; and

determining, based at least in part on the second control signaling, a second set of measurements associated with the unicast receptions, wherein the minimization of drive test report indicates the set of measurements associated with the broadcast receptions within the single-frequency network and the second set of measurements associated with the unicast receptions.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining, while operating in an inactive mode or an idle mode, that a link associated with the broadcast receptions has failed;

performing a handover procedure of the UE to a first network device from a second network device based at least in part on the failed link; and

transmitting a logged minimization of drive test report or a mobility history report based at least in part on the failed link.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the logged minimization of drive test report or the mobility history report comprises an indication that the broadcast receptions failed at the UE, an indication of an identifier of a cell associated with the failed link, a failure duration associated with the failed link, or any combination thereof.

11. An apparatus for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:

a processor;

memory coupled with the processor; and

instructions stored in the memory and executable by the processor to cause the apparatus to:

receive control signaling indicating a measurement configuration for minimization of drive test measurement and reporting supporting broadcast receptions within a single-frequency network;

perform, during operation of the UE in a connected mode and based at least in part on the measurement configuration, minimization of drive test measurements of the single-frequency network for the broadcast receptions to determine a set of measurements for the single-frequency network; and

transmit, during operation of the UE in the connected mode, a minimization of drive test report indicating the set of measurements, wherein the minimization of drive test report indicates a multicast transmission/retransmission success ratio, a unicast transmission/retransmission success ratio, or a combination thereof.

12. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the instructions are further executable by the processor to cause the apparatus to:

perform minimization of drive test measurements of the single-frequency network while operating in an inactive mode or an idle mode, wherein the set of measurements are based at least in part on the minimization of drive test measurements.

13. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the instructions are further executable by the processor to cause the apparatus to:

transmit, based at least in part on the broadcast receptions within the single-frequency network, an indication that the minimization of drive test report is available.

14. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the instructions are further executable by the processor to cause the apparatus to:
