Abstract:
1. A cell measurement method of a User Equipment (UE), the method comprising: receiving a radio resource configuration dedicated Information Element (IE) and a measurement object from a serving cell, wherein the radio resource configuration dedicated IE includes first information about a measurement resource restriction pattern for a first cell, wherein the measurement object includes a neighbor cell configuration IE for indicating multimedia broadcast multicast services (MBMS) Single Frequency Network (MBSFN) configurations of one or more neighbor cells, and wherein the measurement object further includes second information about a resource restriction pattern indicating subframes on which a restriction is imposed in Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) and Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ) measurements of one or more neighbor cells and a list of one or more neighbor cells to which the second information is applied; determining, if the MBSFN configurations of the one or more neighbor cells are not known or not explicitly indicated by the neighbor cell configuration IE, that the subframes indicated by the second information have not been configured as MBSFN subframes for the one or more neighbor cells listed in the list, receiving a plurality of Common Reference Signals (CRSs) in Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbols # measuring one or more of RSRP and RSRQ using the CRSs received in the OFDM symbols #
