Detailed Description
In Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network (E-UTRAN), reference signal receive quality (RSRQ) was initially defined so that a user equipment measures 6 center physical resource blocks of the carrier. This type of RSRQ measurement may enable the network to not need to signal to the user equipment the carrier bandwidth of configured carriers (including the bandwidth used by neighbor cells on same carrier as serving carrier) in order to perform measurements including the RSRQ measurements. The RSRQ may be determined as a ratio of reference signal received power (RSRP) over the RSSI. Not signaling the carrier bandwidth information to the user equipment may reduce signaling needs, especially in the case of for example E- UTRAN where there is a wide range of different supportable bandwidths. Moreover, by making the RSRQ measurements bandwidth agnostic so to speak, a minimum performance requirement may be provided and defined independently from the bandwidth being used or considered. E-UTRAN may also allow an option of signaling the user equipment to perform wideband RSRQ measurements when the carrier bandwidth equals or is larger than 50 physical resource blocks (PRBs), which is about 10MHz.
In some example embodiments, there may be provided that, in the case of MBSFN measurements, the Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) portion of the MBSFN RSRQ may be measured using all of the OFDM symbols in the subframe(s) in which the MBSFN RSRQ is measured. This MBSFN RSRQ measurement may, in some example embodiments, provide the network with measurements, which may represent the actual load more precisely in connection with MBSFN measurements, when compared to past approaches.
In order to better account for the MBSFN transmission and possible adjacent channel interference, the RSSI measurement may, in some example embodiments, be measured only from the OFDM symbols belonging to the MBSFN region of the MBMS subframe (per the physical multicast channel, PMCH).
In some example embodiments, the RSSI measurements may, in some example embodiments, be extended to the non-MBSFN region of the MBMS subframe as well (for example, the RSSI measurements may be extended to the whole subframe).
The RSSI measurement may, in some example embodiments, include measurements which contain the MBMS reference symbols and/or symbols which do not contain the MBMS reference symbols.
In some example embodiments, the RSRQ measurement performed by a user equipment may be defined as a single definition, although the RSRQ measurement may have a plurality of definitions. In the case of a plurality of definitions, the network may signal to the user equipment which of the plurality of RSRQ measurements should be used. For example, network may signal the user equipment to use an existing MBSFN RSRQ measurements (for example, the 6 center physical resource blocks of the carrier definition for MBSFN RSRQ measurements) and/or the MBSFN RSRQ measurement across all OFDM symbols of an MBSFN portion of a subframe being measured as disclosed for example herein at for example Tables 1 , 2, and/o 3, and/or a combination thereof. The network may signal the user equipment with the MBSFN RSRQ measurements when configuring MBSFN measurements, although the configuration may be performed in other ways as well.
Table 1 below provides an example definition for the MBSFN RSRQ measurements, in accordance with some example embodiments. In the example of Table 1 , the MBSFN RSRQ measurement may be defined in a standard, and performed by a user equipment. Referring to Table 1 , the RSSI portion of the RSRQ measurement is performed over all OFDM symbols in the subframe, as indicated below. In some example embodiments, the RSRQ measurement is made only in subframes and on carriers where the user equipment is decoding the PMCH.
Table 1 : MBSFN Reference Signal Received Quality (MBSFN RSRQ)
Table 2 depicts an example definition for MBSFN RSRQ in which the user equipment may use OFDM symbols in the subframe excluding the OFDM symbols containing the reference symbols, in accordance with some example embodiments. In some example embodiments, the RSRQ measurement at Table 2 is made only in subframes and on carriers where the user equipment is decoding the PMCH.
Table 2: MBSFN Reference Signal Received Quality (MBSFN RSRQ)
In the example of Table 3 below, the MBSFN RSRQ definition may include use all OFDM symbols belonging to the MBSFN part of the sub-frame to measure the RSSI, in accordance with some example embodiments. In some example embodiments, the RSRQ measurement at Table 3 is made only in subframes and on carriers where the user equipment is decoding the PMCH.
Table 3: MBSFN Reference Signal Received Quality (MBSFN RSRQ)
In some example embodiments, the network may signal to the user equipment reporting requirements for MBSFN RSRQ measurements. For example, the network may indicate to the user equipment whether the user equipment should report results only relating to a certain type of MBSFN RSRQ measurement or if the user equipment should report other types of RSRQ metric types. The user equipment may thus be configured to (or by default) report RSRQ measurement results measured using one or more RSRQ metrics/definitions as a baseline.
In some example embodiments, the network may signal the user equipment (for example, using radio resource control, RRC, signaling used in connection with MBSFN measurements) the type of MBSFN RSRQ measurement to be used. For example, if three different MBSFN RSRQ measurement types are defined, the network may signal which of the MBSFN RSRQ types, such as Table 1 , Table 2, and/or Table 3 should be used.
Moreover, the user equipment may be configured to measure and report one or more of the different types of MSFSN RSRQ. For example, the network may signal which
type(s) should be reported. To illustrate, the network may signal to use an existing RSSI/RSRQ definition (for example, the 6 PRB RSRQ noted above) and report the measurement to the network. The signaling may, alternatively or additionally, indicate that the user equipment should report RSRQ based on RSSI measured using all OFDM symbols belonging to the MBSFN part of the subframe (including RS and non- RS symbols). Alternatively or additionally, the signaling may indicate that the reporting should include RSRQ based on RSSI measurements using all OFDM symbols in the entire subframe including RS and non-RS symbols. Alternatively or additionally, the signaling may indicate that the reporting should include RSRQ based on RSSI measured using only non-reference symbol OFDM symbols in the subframe (either the MBSFN part only or whole sub-frame). Alternatively or additionally, the user equipment may be required to perform these measurements per a default configuration, and then report all RSRQ results using one or more RSRQ metrics to network. Alternatively or additionally, the user equipment may indicate to the network which metric has been used when for example reporting the measurement results.
