Abstract:
1. A method implemented in a user equipment (UE) for enabling operations related specifically to individual channels in a wireless communication network comprising the UE and a network node being in connectivity with each other, the method comprising: receiving a radio signal which includes a time-frequency grid of radio resource elements; measuring by the UE a signal quality parameter associated with a subset of the radio resource elements in the time-frequency grid, where the subset of the radio resource elements is less than a total number of the radio resource elements in the time-frequency grid and corresponds to an individual control or data radio channel; reporting to the network node the signal quality parameter measured for the subset of the radio resource elements in the time-frequency grid to enable at least one operation related specifically to the individual control or data radio channel; and measuring by the UE a signal quality parameter associated with the subset of the radio resource elements in the time-frequency grid on a sequence of received time-frequency grids according to a time sequence pattern identifying time-frequency grids to be measured by the UE and reported to the network node.
