Abstract:
1. A method in a first user equipment, the method comprising receiving, in a first carrier, information regarding a signal configuration from a network entity; receiving, in a second carrier, a reference signal from a second user equipment, the second carrier associated with a transmission bandwidth configuration and a channel bandwidth, wherein the transmission bandwidth configuration of the second carrier is contained within the channel bandwidth of the second carrier, wherein the received reference signal is within the channel bandwidth of the second carrier, and in proximity to an edge of the transmission bandwidth configuration of the second carrier, determining a link quality of the received reference signal based on the signal configuration; and reporting the determined link quality to a network entity via the second carrier; wherein the information regarding a signal configuration comprises a location of a resource block on which the first user equipment is receiving the reference signal; wherein the resource block is outside of the transmission bandwidth configuration of the second carrier but within the channel bandwidth of the second carrier.
