Claim:
1. User Equipment (UE) configured to operate in a 3GPP LTE cellular network, the UE comprising hardware processing circuitry configured to: receive signaling from an Evolved Node-B (eNB) to indicate either a first or a second Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ) measurement type for both a serving cell and a target cell; determine an RSRQ of the serving cell and an RSRQ of the target cell based on the indicated RSRQ measurement type; and transmit a measurement report to the eNB based on the RSRQ of the serving cell and the RSRQ of the target cell, wherein for the first RSRQ measurement type, the RSRQ for both the serving cell and the target cell is determined from a Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) over one or more Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbols in which common reference signals (CRS) are included; and wherein for the second RSRQ measurement type, the RSRQ is determined for both the serving cell and the target cell from an RSSI that is based on a received power of one or more OFDM symbols received at the UE.
