Abstract:
1. A method of wireless communication, comprising: tuning to a multimedia broadcast single frequency network (MBSFN) neighbor cell, while connected to a serving cell, during a connected mode gap, to measure at least reference signals of the MBSFN neighbor cell, a measurement window of the connected mode gap being arbitrary to a timing of downlink subframes of the MBSFN neighbor cell; selecting at least three reference signal symbols, for measuring the reference signals, from at least one non-MBSFN subframe of the MBSFN neighbor cell detected within the measurement window of the connected mode gap and a special subframe of the MBSFN neighbor cell detected within a measurement window location regardless of an alignment of the measurement window with the downlink subframes, the at least three reference signal symbols being selected from at least two reference signal symbols of the at least one non-MBSFN subframe and one reference signal symbol of the special subframe; combining the at least three reference signal symbols; and estimating a reference signal received power (RSRP) based at least in part on a result of the combining.
