Title:
INTRA-FREQUENCY AND INTER-FREQUENCY MEASUREMENT FOR NARROW BAND MACHINE-TYPE COMMUNICATION
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2017/080229
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Described is an apparatus of an enhanced Machine Type Communication (eMTC) capable User Equipment (UE) operable to communicate with an eMTC capable Evolved Node-B (eNB) on a wireless network. The apparatus may comprise a first circuitry and a second circuitry. The first circuitry may be operable to initiate an intra-frequency measurement corresponding with an intra-frequency Measurement Gap Length (MGL) of a first duration. The second circuitry may be operable to initiate an inter-frequency measurement corresponding with an inter-frequency MGL of a second duration. The first duration may be shorter than the second duration. The first and second durations may be established by dedicated and separated configuration inputs. The second circuitry may also be operable to schedule a plurality of intra-frequency measurements in accordance with an intra-frequency measurement gap pattern, and may be operable to schedule a plurality of inter-frequency measurements in accordance with an inter-frequency measurement gap pattern.
