Original Abstract Submitted

The present disclosure relates to a technique for configuring signal measurements to be performed for a wireless communication channel. More specifically, a network node generates a first timing configuration for the wireless communication channel and sends it to a UE. The first timing configuration defines a sequence of Fixed Frame Periods (FFPs). Then, the network node generates a second timing configuration for the wireless communication channel and sends it to the UE. The second timing configuration comprises an indication for the UE to perform the signal measurements (e.g., RSSI measurements) within at least part of an idle period of at least one FFP of the sequence of FFPs. By so doing, it is possible (by using a limited signaling overhead) to ensure that the signal measurements will be always performed within the idle period(s) of the FFP(s). In some embodiments, the indication may cause the UE to perform the signal measurements within the at least part of every N-th FFP (e.g., every second FFP) of the sequence of FFPs, thereby providing a more flexible configuration of the signal measurements in a wireless communication network.
