Title:
USER EQUIPMENT MEASUREMENTS DURING NETWORK ANTENNA MUTING
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2024/007127
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Embodiments include methods for a user equipment, UE, configured to operate in a radio access network, RAN. Such methods include receiving, from a RAN node, a configuration for measurement and reporting by the UE. The configuration identifies the following: radio resources on which reference signals, RS, are or will be transmitted by the RAN node, and a mapping of the identified radio resources to a plurality of RAN node antenna ports used to transmit the RS. Such methods include determining that a first subset of the RAN node antenna ports are muted and subsequently refraining from receiving and measuring RS in radio resources that map to the first subset of RAN node antenna ports determined to be muted. Other embodiments include complementary methods for a RAN node, as well as UEs and RAN nodes configured to perform such methods.
