摘要： Systems, methods, and apparatuses may configure a measurement gap per frequency group and per cell. Measurement time and frequency resources may be associated with a carrier frequency, a cell, or both. Thus, a user equipment (UE) may determine the measurement configuration based on the carrier frequency, cell, or both. The number of synchronization sequences (SS) blocks in an SS burst may be based on the frequency band of the carrier frequency

摘要： Briefly, in accordance with one or more embodiments, user equipment (UE) comprising circuitry to connect to a network via a serving cell; and indicate to the network a measurement gap capability of the UE. The measurement gap capability includes information if the UE supports a carrier aggregation (CA) specific measurement gap and if the UE has two or more radio-frequency (RF) chains. The UE then receives a CA specific measurement gap configuration from the network for the two or more RF chains.

摘要： NCSGs may be used by a cellular network to, for example, enhance the signal measurement processes by which a UE performs inter-frequency measurements. In a first embodiment described herein, a UE may signal to the network, on a per-UE basis, the ability to support NCGS interruptions. In a first embodiment described herein, a UE may signal to the network, on a per-component carrier basis of the UE, the ability to support NCGS interruptions.

摘要： User equipment performs autonomous time adjustment that includes selecting a Timing Error Limit (i.e. Te_NR) and Maximum Autonomous Time Adjustment Step (i.e. Tq_NR) based on bandwidth (BW) and subcarrier spacing (SCS). In one embodiment, given a certain downlink BW, if the SCS=x(kHz) and the Te_NR of this SCS is N, then the Te_NR of SCS=x/2(kHz) is 2*N. Given a certain downlink BW, if the SCS=x(kHz) and the Te_NR of this SCS is N, then the Te_NR of SCS=2*x(kHz) is N/2. For example, given BW=10 MHz, if the Te_NR of SCS=30k Hz is n*Ts_NR (TS_NR is the basic timing unit for NR system), then the Te_NR of SCS=60 kHz is N/2*Ts_NR, and the Te_NR of SCS=15 kHz is 2*N*Ts_NR.

摘要： An apparatus is configured to be employed within a base station. The apparatus comprises baseband circuitry which includes a radio frequency (RF) interface and one or more processors. The one or more processors are configured determine repetition level (RL) thresholds, allocate downlink resources, wherein the downlink resources include a repetition level (RL), send downlink data to the RF interface for transmission to a user equipment (UE) according to the RL, receive repetition feedback from the RF interface based on the transmission to the UE, and update aspects or the allocation of the downlink resources based on the repetition feedback.

摘要： A user equipment (UE) operable to perform inter-frequency measurements is disclosed. The UE can decode an information element (IE) received from an eNodeB. The UE can determine whether the IE received from the eNodeB includes a reduced measurement performance field. The UE can determine that a neighboring inter-frequency is configured for a reduced measurement performance when the reduced measurement performance field is included in the IE.

摘要： In embodiments, apparatuses, methods, and storage media may be described for distinguishing, by a user equipment (UE), a reference signal (RS) transmitted by a cell that may have a same identifier (ID) as another cell in a network. In embodiments, a muting pattern, a time offset, or a virtual cell identifier (VCID) may be used to generate an RS sequence or RS resource allocation.

摘要： Embodiments of UE and methods for measurement of Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ) are generally described herein. The UE may be configured to determine an RSRQ of a serving cell and an RSRQ of a target cell based on an indicated RSRQ measurement type. The measurement type may be received as part of a measurement configuration Information Element (IE) that indicates a first or second RSRQ measurement type. For the first RSRQ measurement type, the RSRQ may be determined based on a Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) over common reference signals (CRS). For the second RSRQ measurement type, the RSRQ may be determined based on an RSSI that is based on a received power of one or more Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbols received at the UE.
