• The UE performs inter-cell signal measurement and reporting based on its capabilities.
• The techniques enable efficient and accurate measurement and reporting of inter-cell signals in wireless communication systems.

Potential Applications

The techniques described in the patent application can be applied in various wireless communication systems, including but not limited to:

• Cellular networks
• Wi-Fi networks
• Internet of Things (IoT) networks
• 5G networks

Problems Solved

The patent application addresses the following problems in wireless communication systems:

• Inefficient inter-cell signal measurement and reporting
• Lack of standardized capabilities for inter-cell signal measurement and reporting
• Inaccurate measurement and reporting of inter-cell signals

Benefits

The techniques described in the patent application offer the following benefits:

• Improved efficiency in inter-cell signal measurement and reporting
• Standardized capabilities for inter-cell signal measurement and reporting
• Enhanced accuracy in measurement and reporting of inter-cell signals

Original Abstract Submitted

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for inter-cell measurement and reporting. A method that may be performed by a user equipment (UE) includes sending, to a base station (BS), an indication of one or more capabilities of the UE for inter-cell signal measurements, reporting of the inter-cell signal measurements, or both. The UE may perform inter-cell signal measurement and reporting based on the one or more capabilities.
