EXCHANGE OF PARAMETERS RELATING TO MEASUREMENT PERIODS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18544576 titled 'EXCHANGE OF PARAMETERS RELATING TO MEASUREMENT PERIODS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for exchanging measurement period related parameters between network nodes and user equipment for measuring a measurement quantity of a secondary cell on a second carrier.

  • User equipment measures a measurement quantity of a secondary cell on a second carrier.
  • User equipment receives an indication of the second carrier and a parameter indicating a measurement period.
  • User equipment measures the measurement quantity over the measurement period, which is a predefined value times the parameter.

Original Abstract Submitted

Methods, a first, and a second network node as well as a user equipment for exchange of measurement period related parameters are provided. The user equipment performs a method for measuring a measurement quantity of a secondary cell on a second carrier operated by a second radio network node. The user equipment receives, from the second radio network node, an indication indicative of the second carrier and a first parameter indicating a measurement period for measuring the measurement quantity of the secondary cell. The user equipment measures said measurement quantity on the secondary cell on the second carrier over the measurement period. The measurement period is a predefined value times the first parameter.
