Coordinated multipoint (CoMP) radio resource management (RRM) measurement
A method performed by a user equipment (UE) is described. A measurement configuration is received from an evolved NodeB (eNB). The measurement configuration comprises a measurement object in a carrier frequency and the measurement object comprises a set of channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) configurations. A measurement is performed based on a cell-specific reference signal (CRS). A measurement is performed based on a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) based on the measurement configuration. A measurement report is generated in a radio resource control (RRC) layer. The measurement report is sent to the eNB.
1. A method performed by a user equipment (UE), comprising:
receiving a measurement configuration from an evolved Node B (eNB), wherein the measurement configuration comprises a measurement object in a carrier frequency and the measurement object comprises a set of channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) configurations;
performing a measurement based on a cell-specific reference signal (CRS);
performing a measurement based on a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) based on the measurement configuration;
generating a measurement report in a radio resource control (RRC) layer; and
sending the measurement report to the eNB.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the measurement configuration comprises a measurement object, and wherein the measurement object comprises an information element configured to perform at least one of adding a CSI-RS configuration to the set of CSI-RS configurations, modifying a CSI-RS configuration of the set of CSI-RS configurations and removing a CSI-RS configuration from the set of CSI-RS configurations.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the measurement configuration comprises multiple measurement objects.
4. A method performed by an evolved Node B (eNB), comprising:
generating a measurement configuration for a user equipment (UE), wherein the measurement configuration comprises a measurement object in a carrier frequency and the measurement object comprises a set of channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) configurations;
sending the measurement configuration to the UE; and
receiving, from the UE, the measurement report generated based on a measurement based on a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) based on the measurement configuration.
5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the measurement configuration comprises a measurement object, and wherein the measurement object comprises an information element configured to perform at least one of adding a CSI-RS configuration to the set of CSI-RS configurations, modifying a CSI-RS configuration of the set of CSI-RS configurations and removing a CSI-RS configuration from the set of CSI-RS configurations.
6. The method of claim 4 , wherein the measurement configuration comprises multiple measurement objects.

perform a measurement based on a cell-specific reference signal (CRS);
perform a measurement based on a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) based on the measurement configuration;
generate a measurement report in a radio resource control (RRC) layer; and
send the measurement report to the eNB.
8. The UE of claim 7 , wherein the measurement configuration comprises a measurement object, and wherein the measurement object comprises an information element configured to perform at least one of adding a CSI-RS configuration to the set of CSI-RS configurations, modifying a CSI-RS configuration of the set of CSI-RS configurations and removing a CSI-RS configuration from the set of CSI-RS configurations.

generate a measurement configuration for a user equipment (UE), wherein the measurement configuration comprises a measurement object in a carrier frequency and the measurement object comprises a set of channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) configurations;
send the measurement configuration to the UE; and
receive, from the UE, the measurement report generated based on a measurement based on a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) based on the measurement configuration.
11. The eNB of claim 10 , wherein the measurement configuration comprises a measurement object, and wherein the measurement object comprises an information element configured to perform at least one of adding a CSI-RS configuration to the set of CSI-RS configurations, modifying a CSI-RS configuration of the set of CSI-RS configurations and removing a CSI-RS configuration from the set of CSI-RS configurations.
