Patent ID: 10356642

Abstract:
Methods and apparatus are provided for enhanced mechanism for RRM measurement in the mmW system. In one novel aspect, the filtered-consolidation measurement result is generated for each cell. The UE measures multiple control beams in an mmW system. The UE either performs a layer-3 filtering on each of the measured control beams or on consolidation measurement results for each control beam of the cell. The UE generates the filtered-consolidation measurement results for each corresponding cell. In another novel aspect, an intra-cell threshold and an inter-cell threshold are configured, wherein the intra-cell threshold is greater than the inter-cell threshold. The UE obtains a consolidation measurement for the serving cell and compares the result with the two preconfigured thresholds. The UE performs different level of control beam measurements based on the comparison of the consolidation measurement of the serving and the two thresholds.
