  • a DMTC time window may be a time duration during which all discovery signals (e.g., from the serving and neighbor LAA eNBs) are expected to be transmitted. That is, for example, the UE may perform measurements (e.g., RSSI and so forth) every 40 ms, which are then averaged and/or filtered.
  • the periodic measurement may not enable the UE to obtain measurements that are representative of the time- varying load on the carrier, such as because measuring RSSI during the DMTC time windows may result in an RSSI that indicates a load that is higher than the actual load on the carrier.
  • RSSI measurements may not be performed during DMTC time windows.
  • a UE may have gaps for performing measurements on "inter-frequency" LAA carriers - i.e., carriers without configured secondary cells. If the UE uses gaps to perform LAA-RSSI measurements, the network may configure specific subframes during which the LAA-RSSI measurements occur.
  • LAA-RSSI measurements may be configured in addition to RSRP measurements for a carrier. Therefore, in order to reduce the number of times the UE switches between monitoring the DL and performing a measurement, LAA-RSSI measurements may occur immediately adjacent to the DMTC windows.
  • LAA-RSSI measurement gaps may be used and may occur immediately before or immediately after RSRP measurement gaps.
  • the measurement can occur when the carrier is busy (due to transmissions from either the serving LAA eNB or from another node) or when the channel is idle. Measurements may be considered to be representative of load on the channel, if the proportion of measurements that occur when the channel is busy is roughly the same as the proportion of time that the channel is busy.
  • RSSI measurements may be considered to be representative of load on a channel if: P [Measurement occurs when Channel is Busy] - P[Channel is busy] ⁇ e, for some small e.
  • the UE may perform continuous measurements of the channel or perform measurements at random occasions. As may be appreciated, performing continuous measurements of a channel may consume a large amount of power; therefore, performing measurements at random occasions may be preferred because less power is consumed.
  • uniformly distributed random measurements 708 provide some advantages over periodic measurements 706. Specifically, the value of P[Measurement occurs when Channel is Busy] - P [Channel is busy] is smaller for the uniformly distributed random measurements 708 compared to that for the periodic measurements 706.
  • the probability that a channel is busy when using adaptive measurements 710 is also illustrated.
  • occasions e.g., time windows
  • the UE performs measurements are chosen randomly, as follows: 1) Two measurement periodicities are configured at the UE. The first is a "quiet channel periodicity" (e.g., quite channel inter- measurement duration) and the second is a "busy channel periodicity" (e.g., busy channel inter- measurement duration). The quiet channel periodicity is longer than the busy channel periodicity.
  • the UE is also configured with separate measurement durations for busy and quiet periods.
  • the UE is configured with a busyOverhang integer parameter; 2) During a measurement occasion, if the channel is determined to be busy, the UE uses the busy channel periodicity to determine an occasion in the future to perform the next measurement. For example, the next occasion may be determined based on an exponential distribution with a mean equal to the busy channel periodicity. Alternatively, the next occasion may be based on the current time plus the busy channel periodicity; and 3) If the channel is determined to be not busy, the UE starts a counter that is set to the value of the busyOverhang integer. The UE then selects the next measurement occasion based on the busy channel periodicity, as described above. At each measurement occasion, that follows: a) If the channel is not busy, the UE decrements the counter by 1.

  • Figure 7 shows how the probability that measurement occurs when the channel is busy using adaptive measurements 710 may be closer to the probability that the channel is busy 712 than the probability that measurement occurs when the channel is busy for periodic measurements 706 and uniformly distributed random measurements 708.
  • RSSI may be defined as including the linear average of the total received power (in [W]) observed only in certain OFDM symbols of measurement subframes, in the measurement bandwidth over N number of resource blocks by the UE from all sources, including co-channel serving and non-serving cells, adjacent channel interference, thermal noise, etc.
