(AC), eNB, cell, UE etc.) one or more specific measurement gap patterns and related solution method can be realized to prop up
Hold the LTE carrier aggregation (CA) of the up to 32 carrier wave components (CC) for DL and UL.For CA processes, single two measurements
Performance group may be insufficient to allow LTE CA to support up to 32 CC or more.Various measurement gap patterns are proposed in the disclosure
More effectively to measure carrier wave at measurement gap.Measurement gap pattern can for example be referred to as the pattern of measurement gap (in the cycle
Or UE can promote the frequency carrier to measure with it in the duration).For example, UE can be operated during measurement gap with from its
The service band of connection is switched to different frequency bands, so as to perform carrier wave measurement.Term as used herein service band is meaned
UE to may be coupled to the frequency band as service band and down link data can be received, in this case not necessarily
The measurement in the frequency band is needed, because UE is operated in this band.
For example, in a measurement gap pattern, the first receiving circuit component is (for example, have one or more antenna ends

106th, 108 can be included with a set of network devices of the overlay area operation smaller than macrocell network equipment 102 and 104.
Although the network equipment (ND) 106 and 108 is described as the cell network equipment, they can also be Wi-Fi
Enabled device or WLAN (WLAN) equipment and macrocell network equipment, the cell network equipment or it can such as make
Some the other types of ND operated for base station or eNB.Alternatively, one or more of macrocell ND 102 and 110 can be with
Be the cell network equipment or for example using different frequency carrier operation different radio access technologies (RAT) other ND.

Coverage 124,126.It should be understood, however, that wireless communications environment 100 is not limited to the implementation.For example, can be in channel radio
Believe any amount of AP or ND of the deployment with respective service region in environment 100.In addition, any amount of cellular broadcast service
Device and corresponding coverage can also be deployed in wireless communications environment 100.
, can also be in wireless communications environment 100 although illustrate only five UE equipment 110,112,114,116,118
Dispose any amount of UE equipment.UE equipment can for example comprising system, subscriber unit, subscriber station, movement station, mobile device,

110th, 112,114,116,118 can include the function as described in more fully herein, and can be additionally configured to dual link and set
It is standby, wherein one or more UE equipment 110,112,114,116,118 may be coupled to different RAT (for example, LTE and WLAN or
Other combinations) more than one eNB or ND.
On the one hand, cellular broadcast service device or macrocell ND 102,104 and cell ND 106,108 can be (for example, logical
Cross using corresponding measurement assembly come) monitor radio condition around it.For example, macrocell ND 102,204 and cell ND
106th, in 108 each can be by the network traffic load that performs network diagnosing process to determine on its corresponding network.As
Example, during network monitoring process, macrocell ND 102,104, cell ND 106,108 or UE equipment 110,112,114,
116th, 118 its radio environment can be scanned to determine network performance statistics or network parameter (for example, frequency, SNR, signal matter
Amount, QoS, QoE, load, congestion, signal rate etc.).It can measured by UE equipment or examined during network diagnosing process
Survey and macrocell ND 102,104,106,108 associated various parameters of cell ND, such as, but not limited to frequency band, scrambler,
Common signal channel pilot power, the bandwidth of each network, Universal Mobile Telecommunications System terrestrial wireless are electrically accessed received signal strength and referred to
Show symbol and the frequency carrier priority for particular cell group (for example, normal group or reduction group) etc..
In exemplary scene, UE equipment 110,112,114,116,118 can pass through macrocell ND 102,104 or slight
One in area ND 106,108 is by network service.When user equipment (ue) device moves in wireless communications environment 100, Ge Geyong
Family apparatus can be movable into and out the overlay area of associated service network.For example, when user passes through its respective UE
During equipment transmission/reception communication, user may just walking, ride in an automobile, used during taking train, in densely populated urban area
It is mobile around (for example, big city), wherein, movement may cause mobile device to be moved between various cordless communication networks.
In this case, network traffics are routed to target ND (for example, switching) so as to continue communication (for example, avoiding by UE from service ND
Call lose) or promote for load distribution unloading or be beneficial the purpose of other efficiency.However, with ND and to measure
Frequency carrier quantity increase, UE equipment 110,112,114,116,118 may be will be between the time measurement distributed
Problem be present when each carrier wave is measured in gap.Because UE equipment 110,112,114,116,118 must measure increased number of load
Ripple (such as 32 or more), these measurement gaps may introduce more delays.
In one example, if two frequency carriers of different frequency in network environment 100 be present (for example, LTE
CA carrier component), wherein 40 milliseconds (ms) are measurement gaps.Because in the presence of two carrier waves, UE equipment 110,112,
114th, 116,118 operated on a carrier wave as service frequency, therefore only need to measure an additional carrier.So, UE
(for example, UE110) will will be switched to another carrier wave to be measured thereon per 40ms.This means every 40ms (as measurement
Gap receives the cycle (MGRP)) UE 110 will carry out one-shot measurement.It is each measurement sample in, measurement can include pair with frequency
Any network measure of the network condition of band, the network equipment of operation (transmission) frequency band or channel condition correlation, such as signal are strong
Degree, channel quality, ND loading condition or other measurements are (for example, Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP), reference signal receive
Quality (RSRQ), channel condition information (CSI), one or more CQIs (CQI) etc.).
However, if two additional carriers are present on network or the (communication in the communication range to be measured of UE equipment 110
Ground is couple to UE equipment 110), then three carrier waves are present on network, and data can be being carried out thereon including UE equipment 110
Downlink transmission and the service frequency carrier wave of communication.In the first measurement gap of gap sequence, UE equipment 110 can be such as
Second frequency (service frequency is first frequency) is measured, and UE equipment 110 can be surveyed in second or subsequent measurement gap
Measure the 3rd frequency of different carrier waves.This means UE equipment can only carry out one-shot measurement per 80ms.This is than only needing measurement one
The delay of frequency carrier is longer, and wherein total delay is proportional to the carrier number that UE equipment 110 must measure.Therefore, 32 or more
Multiple carrier waves will imply that the aperature delay of about 32 × 40ms (measurement gap repetition/reception cycle), to obtain one or more
Individual different ND specific frequency or a sample of multiple frequencies (between frequency or in frequency).This longer delay may give UE
Bring problem, UE possibly can not in enough or effective time frame measurement frequency.This longer delay is also possible to as follows
Situation produces the problem of other:For example, which network switching or the condition based on UE equipment 110 determine in time enough
Cell or cell ND are optimal.
On the one hand, network purpose therefore be enhancing belong to normal performance group carrier wave time measurement gap, normal performance
Group can receive more measurements than reducing performance group.Which operator network can distribute or ND is a part for which group.
For example, normal performance group can have macrocell ND 202 and 204, and reduce performance group can with cell ND 106,
108;But can be by any of the specified ND such as network or ND equipment (for example, macrocell ND 102) and associated frequency carrier
Mixing.The ND or UE of network can be strengthened in various embodiments, carried with up to 32 components enabled for both DL and UL
The carrier aggregation of ripple, and the further enabled frequency carrier that for example can once support five or more.Therefore, in addition to CA
Or substitute CA, disclose CA two measurement performance groups, for CA various specific cell measurement gap patterns with CA
Support to be up to 32 CC.
With reference to figure 2, examples of the instruction UE from eNB to the identifier (ID) of the pendulous frequency of carrier wave is shown.In LTE
In radio resource (RRM) measurement in, UE perform measurement frequency carrier or frequency band can by measurement object (for example,
MeasObject) configure.For example, measurement object ID maximum number maxObjectld 202 can be defined in the 3 gpp specifications.It is former
On then, each radio frequency (RF) carrier wave configures single measurement object.In view of up to 32 CC designed for Rel-13CA,
To reach the measurement object ID of target quantity in theory can increase to even more big value (for example, 64).On the other hand, by
The maximum that data field 202 represents is still enough.It there may be when UE configures up to 32 CC, eNB can be from same frequency
The measurement report on a CC in band obtains the certain situation for CC administrative purposes necessary informations.For example, work as carrier wave B and C
During in identical frequency band, such scheme can at least be applied to carrier wave B and C polymerization.Correspondingly, it is possible to reduce required
Measurement object ID, and currency will be enough.
ID 202 includes 32 CC in a manner of the measurement as specified object ID.When network increases measurement object to accommodate
During more than 32 CC (for example, in data ID 204maxObject ID for specifying maximum integer 64), network can also configure
More measurement objects are to be linked to measurement configuration (MeasGapConfig), wherein 32 may be not enough.Therefore, in order to adapt to
The increase of carrier frequency quantity, eNB can be provided to the CC of about 64 or other quantity suggestion increase, and this is only one
Example.For example, E-UTRAN, which can be applied, has such as data ID 202 or 204 or some other increased processors, with for example
Ensure that it all includes being used for each service frequency with maxObjectID whenever UE receives measConfig
measObject。
With reference to figure 3, show according to various embodiments and the example of the measurement gap pattern 300 with reference to figure 1.Measurement gap
Pattern 300 can be for example with 40ms or 80ms measurement gap repetition/reception cycleoperation.For example, measurement gap pattern 300 can
To be realized with individual server (service) frequency band, for being about 6ms using the constant clearance duration in each gap
Single radio frequency (RF) chain (not shown) operation, it is supplied to UE equipment (for example, 114) by eNB (for example, ND 102).Example
Such as, RF chains (for example, transtation mission circuit component/receiving circuit component) can include can cover the RF spectrum of various scopes one
Or multiple processing components are (for example, wave filter, digital signal processor, amplifier or other groups for processing data signal
Part).UE 114 is surveyed need not entering line frequency to specific frequency carrier wave (such as with measurement gap pattern 300) using all RF chains
Amount.
As described above, the duration in each gap can be about 6ms, for example, it is applied by eNB (for example, ND102)
Or it is configured to Fig. 1 UE equipment 114.There is no data transfer in this 6ms gap.However, UE equipment 114 can also have CA
Ability, it means that UE equipment 114 can be operated once using more than one RF chains.Therefore, using more than one RF chains,
UE equipment 114 using some RF possibly through measurement is used for and has data transfer simultaneously to increase throughput gain.Therefore,
Provided for radio resources management (RRM) measurement very close to each other can bring up to 15% throughput gain (for example, 40ms
MGRP), it is desirable to improve UE equipment performances, particularly in the case where CA has a large amount of CC.In order to realize this advantage, survey
Amount gap is preferably only applied to related service cell (that is, the serving cell operated on the RF circuits of measurement correlated frequency).
Measurement gap pattern 300 (that is, 40ms MGRP or 80ms MGRP) can be by network configuration to UE.Network is considered
UE once performs the measurement of a frequency band to meet measurement request, and all frequency bands during measurement gap will not have it is descending
Link transmission.For example, network can have five available frequencies so that service band is that (it can be that UE exists to frequency band A 302
Promote the service frequency of the operation of connection thereon).For example, other frequency bands can include frequency band X 304, frequency band Y 306, frequency band Z
308 and frequency band L 310.Black gap represents not measuring in this place, dark shadow gaps (for example, gap 312)
Represent that the measurement to frequency band can be performed in this place, and number does not occur in this place for shallower shadow gaps (for example, 314) instruction
According to transmission.
Based on measurement gap pattern 300, UE equipment 114 can be held in the one 40 millisecond of gap 316 on frequency band X 304
Row measurement, and there is no data transfer on service band A 302.For example, each frequency band can represent the frequency band for DL or UL
Or frequency range.Then in ensuing 40 milliseconds of measurement gap 318, UE equipment 114 can measure frequency band Y 306.With
Afterwards, in the 3rd measurement gap 320, UE equipment 114 can measure frequency band Z 308 and then in the 4th measurement gap 322
Measure frequency band L 310.Then, UE equipment 114 can circulate to measure frequency band X 304, wherein measurement gap sequence again again
Row can continuously repeat.
With reference to figure 4, example of the CA scenes 400 together with exemplary UE 114 is shown, wherein for RF chains 1 402, UE is set
Standby 114 can for example cover frequency band X 304 and frequency band Y 306.Each RF chains 1 402 and RF chains 2 404 can include being used to believe
The one or more assemblies of number process chain, for example, it can include wave filter and for incremental wave filter and further place
Hardware of the reason for the RF signals of data.Because the RF chains that frequency can be very high therefore not all can be covered once
All frequency bands.For example, RF chains 1 402 are only capable of covering frequency band X 304 (for example, for any of DL or UL as defined in 3GPP
Frequency range) and frequency band Y 306.In addition, RF chains 2 404 are only capable of covering frequency band Z 308 and frequency band L 310, wherein each RF chains 1
402 and RF chains 2404 can cover some frequency bands or bandwidth of frequency spectrum.
Referring now to Figure 5, show another survey of the measurement gap configuration information element for version 13 or more highest version
The example of clearance mode 500 is measured, to reduce measurement delay by one or more network equipments on network.With Fig. 3 survey
As measuring clearance mode 300, the measurement in measurement gap pattern 500 postpones to carry out four measurements to obtain each frequency band (example
Such as, frequency band X, Y, Z and L) measurement sample pattern occur.Therefore, per 160ms, UE equipment 114 can obtain each frequency band
One sampling, it is considered as measurement delay.In measurement gap pattern 300, if UE equipment 114 can be for example using one
Service frequency measurement frequency band X 304 and Y 306, while using second service frequency measurement frequency band Z and L.
In the first measurement gap 502, RF chains 1402 can be used to measure frequency band X 304 in UE equipment 114, and use RF
Chain 2 404 come measure with frequency band Z308, and carry out measure simultaneously.Similarly, in the second measurement gap 504, UE equipment 114
Frequency band Y can be measured using RF chains 1402, and frequency band L 310 is measured with RF chains 2 404.The pattern is then for measurement
Gap 508 and 510 and voluntarily repeat.Now in each measurement gap, UE equipment 114 can measure two frequency bands rather than one
Frequency band, therefore measure delay and be cut in half, because UE equipment 114 can utilize two RF chains simultaneously.For example, in this feelings
Lower measurement sample that all frequency bands are obtained using two measurement gaps of condition, without four measurement gaps.
However, network assume that UE equipment 114 only has a RF chain rather than two, and measurement request is also based only upon
One RF chain, unless ensure abundant communication between the network equipment (for example, UE and eNB) otherwise its will not utilize network capabilities.
And hence it is also possible to which gap configuration is added in 3GPP standards (TS 36.331), CA particular measurement moulds are based on further promotion
The communication of formula measurement.Instead of using only existing zero-sum one (i.e. 40ms and 80ms), additional specifications as shown in Figure 6 can be added
CA-gap0 602, it is a part for the measurement gap configuration (MeasGapConfig) on information element (IE) 600.
Fig. 6, which is shown, enables measurement gap pattern in ND (for example, (one or more) eNB and (one or more)
UE measurement gap configuration or the MeasGapConfig example of (for example, as shown in Figure 5 and Figure 8) are transmitted and realized between).
Data slots (data slot) or the instructions of item CA-gap0 602 interval repetition period 604 (it can be 40ms and 80ms), with
And for optional or extension in the future one or more standby (spare).In addition, MeasGapConfig IE CA-gap0
602 data item can also include measurement gap skew 606, and it indicates when gap starts to be used for further to measure.CA-gap0
602 further instruction frequency band measurement lists (bandMeasurementList) 608, it, which includes UE, should use the measurement gap
Which measurement frequency band measured.For example, reducing performance group or normal performance group can be divided and be designated, also by using frequency
Indicate to need some frequency bands that are frequent or all measuring with measurement list 608.
Clearance offsets (gapOffset) 602 describe gp0 values and can correspond to such as measurement gap repetition/reception cycle
(MGRP)=40ms clearance mode Id " 0 " clearance offsets.Gp1 clearance offsets can correspond to MGRP=80ms gap
The clearance offsets of pattern " 1 ".These clearance offsets patterns ID can be used for specifying the measurement gap pattern to be applied (such as in version
3 or more highest version specification defined in), for example, its (for example, via UE or eNB) provide for determine for example between ID
Selection information.For example, ca-gap0 602 is included as based on the selected clearance mode repetition period (or MGRP)
(gapRepetitionPeriod) or based on such as the measurement gap pattern repetition period defined in 3GPP specifications TS36.133
The gapOffset-r13 606 of gapOffset values.Finally, bandMeasurementList specify or instruction should use it is identical
Gap period or MGRP measurement frequency band.
Alternatively, Fig. 7 shows the 3GPP versions for carrier aggregation (for example, CA-MeasGapConfig-r13ID) 700
This 13 compatible measurement configuration (MeasGapConfig) IE alternative solution.First option can be increased separately in existing IE
One measurement gap (as provided in figure 6 above), although CA 700 new measurement gap configuration CA-MeasGapConfig-
R13IE can be shown with least some contents similar with Fig. 6 IE 600.For example, the gap repetition period 702 can be
40ms and 80ms, and with the one or more standby for being used to extend optional or future.In addition, MeasGapConfig-
R13IE can also include measurement gap skew 704, and it can indicate when gap starts to be used for further to measure, and be base
In the selected clearance mode repetition period.Frequency band measurement list (bandMeasurementList) 706, which also includes UE, to be made
Which measurement frequency band measured with the measurement gap or measurement gap pattern.
Fig. 8, which is shown, can enable to increase the network equipment (for example, (one or more) eNB and (one or more)
UE another clearance mode 800 of the down link data efficiency between).As described above, the UE of service band is frequency band A+B 302
With 502.In addition to X 304 and Y 306, RF chains 1 402 (RF_1) also support service band A 302.Except Z 308 and L
Outside 310, RF chains 2 404 (RF_2) also support service band B 502.Thus, for example UE equipment 114 can be between the first measurement
To measure on frequency band X 304 and Z 308 simultaneously using both RF chains 1 402 and RF chains 2 404 in gap time slot 504.Class
As, UE equipment 114 can also measure to frequency band Y 306 and L 310 simultaneously in the 3rd measurement gap time slot 508.Profit
With identical measurement performance, UE equipment 114 now can be in the second measurement gap time slot 506 and the 4th measurement gap time slot 4
Promote or enable to carry out downlink transmission on frequency band A+B 302 and 502 in 510.
So, measurement gap pattern 800 can be used as the specific clearance modes of CA by the network equipment, with compared to other measurements
Clearance mode (for example, as implied above) improves down link data efficiency.Therefore, as shown in the above Fig., network or ND can match somebody with somebody
Put the data pattern similar with UE equipment 114.However, data can be sent down to UE by network during some clearance modes
Equipment 114 is as the compromise of configuration, rather than allows UE equipment 114 to produce more measurements using RF chains.For example, come from eNB
Or other network equipments or entity determine can based on such as network condition, for the request of resource needed most or state report
Accuse, the postponing of reduction, increased data efficiency/transmission, or both combination.
Fig. 9, which is shown, can utilize above-mentioned two advantage (via one or more network equipments (for example, eNB 102, ND
14 or other ND) the increase of data efficiency/transmission and the reduction of delay) measurement gap pattern 900 another example.Previously
Fig. 8 of discussion measurement gap pattern 800 increases data transfer, it is allowed to which data are between some DATA REASONING gaps by descending
Link (such as every a measurement gap or measurement gap space).Measurement gap pattern 900 makes it possible to small―gap suture
(minigap) or small―gap suture mode approach carries out data transmission, while it is to connect to keep the measurement to down link data and frequency band
Continuous.
In measurement gap pattern 900, UE equipment 114 can for example indicate its frequency band that can be supported, while permitting
Perhaps different RF chains have down link data, and therein trade off is to interrupt 902 and 904.For example, network, the network equipment 102 or
Other network equipments can transmit what is substituted in measurement gap 504,506,508 and 510 with small―gap suture pattern and break period
RF chains 1 or 2 (for example, RF chains 402 and 404).UE equipment 114 can be configured as grasping on service band A and B 302 and 502
Make.When UE equipment 114 for example using RF chains 1402 to measure frequency band X304 when, service band A 302 does not have data transfer.So
And UE equipment 114 still can be in the case where using in the frequency acceptance band B of RF chains 2 404 with interruption 902 and 904 during RF is tuned
