Claim 8:
9. A method comprising:
determining a measurement mode of a neighbor cell of a served terminal, and
transmitting configuration information indicative of said measurement mode of said neighbor cell,
wherein downlink subframes for measuring by said served terminal are determined according to whether the measurement mode is related to an inband operation or whether the measurement mode is related to any of a guard-band operation mode of the neighbor cell and a stand-alone operation mode of the neighbor cell;
wherein said configuration information is indicative of presence and/or absence of restriction of said downlink subframes;
wherein in relation to said measuring, without said measurement mode of said neighbor cell being derived, said method further comprises assuming transmission of said reference signal in downlink subframes 0 and 4 and, if a predetermined synchronization signal is not transmitted in downlink subframe 9, in said downlink subframe 9, and
wherein in case of indicated absence of restriction of said downlink subframes, without said measurement mode of said neighbor cell being derived, said method further comprises assuming transmission of said reference signal in downlink subframes 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, and 8, and, if said predetermined synchronization signal is not transmitted in said downlink subframe 9, in said downlink subframe 9.
