Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Configuration of measurement requirements on cells and beams in NR is made more efficient by, in a user equipment, UE, receiving, information from a network node, which information indicates: a first number K of beams to be measured by the UE, and a second number L of cells in which the UE is required to measure the first number K of beams. The UE then carries out measurements using the received information; and performs at least one operational task based on a result of the measurements.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1 . A method implemented in a user equipment, UE, the method comprising: receiving, from a network node, information indicating a first number (K) of beams to be measured by the UE and a second number (L) of cells in which the UE is required to measure the first number (K) of beams, the first number (K) being a respective number of beams to be measured in each cell of the second number (L) of cells; carrying out measurements based on the received information, the measurements including cell measurements and Layer 3, L3, beam measurements, the measurements including cell measurements for each of the L cells and, for each of the L cells, a L3 beam measurement on each of the K beams; and performing at least one operational task based on a result of the measurements. 2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein performing at least one operational task based on a result of the measurements includes reporting the measurements to the network node.
