Abstract

Divers aspects de la présente invention concernent la transmission dans une fenêtre de mesure. Selon un aspect, un équipement utilisateur peut comprendre un processeur et un émetteur-récepteur couplé au processeur. Le processeur est configuré pour recevoir, par l'intermédiaire de l'émetteur-récepteur et en provenance d'une station de base, au moins un ensemble de paramètres de configuration pour configurer au moins une fenêtre de mesure. Le processeur est configuré pour déterminer, parmi la ou les fenêtres de mesure configurées, si une fenêtre de mesure configurée est disponible pour une transmission prédéterminée lorsque la transmission prédéterminée et la fenêtre de mesure configurée se chevauchent. Le processeur est configuré pour transmettre la transmission prédéterminée dans la fenêtre de mesure configurée en réponse à la détermination du fait que la fenêtre de mesure configurée est disponible pour une transmission prédéterminée. La mise en oeuvre des modes de réalisation de la présente invention permet de réduire la latence de services qui nécessitent un débit élevé et une faible latence.
