Abstract: Systems and methods for signaling in an increased carrier monitoring wireless communication environment are disclosed herein. A user equipment (UE) may include control circuitry to configure the UE for increased carrier monitoring; determine, based on a first signal received from a network apparatus, whether a reduced performance group carrier is configured; determine, based on a second signal received from the network apparatus, whether a scaling factor is configured; and in response to a determination that no reduced performance group carrier is configured and a determination that no scaling factor is configured, allow the UE to monitor fewer carriers than required by increased carrier monitoring. Other embodiments may be disclosed and/or claimed.

Abstract: Systems and methods for improved inter-frequency measurement are disclosed herein. User equipment (UE) may be configured to communicatively couple to an Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network (E-UTRAN) Node B (eNB). The eNB may determine a measurement pattern indicating when the UE should perform inter-frequency measurements. The measurement pattern may be selected such that the UE performs measurements more often than once per measurement cycle. The measurement pattern may be selected to balance timing requirements for the UE with increased power consumption that may result from more frequent measurements. The eNB may determine the measurement pattern based on an estimate of UE speed and a number of frequencies to be monitored. A default pattern may be used if the UE speed and/or number of frequencies do not exceed predetermined thresholds.

Abstract: Adaptive implementation of multiple measurement gap patterns (MGPs) is discussed. One example apparatus can be employed within an eNB, comprising a processor determining a first MGP associated with a first set of one or more carriers and a distinct second MGP associated with a second set of one or more carriers; determining a schedule for a user equipment (UE) associated with the first MGP and the second MGP; and assigning a priority to each carrier of the first set and the second set; transmitter circuitry transmitting to the UE one or more messages that configure the first MGP, the second MGP and the schedule, and transmitting one or more messages that indicate the assigned priorities and the carriers of the first set and the second set; and receiver circuitry receiving carrier measurement(s) from the UE associated with at least one carrier of the first set or the second set.

Abstract: Systems and methods for signaling in an increased carrier monitoring wireless communication environment are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, a user equipment (UE) may include control circuitry to configure the UE for increased carrier monitoring; determine, based on a first signal received from a network apparatus, whether a reduced performance group carrier is configured; determine, based on a second signal received from the network apparatus, whether a scaling factor is configured; and in response to a determination that no reduced performance group carrier is configured and a determination that no scaling factor is configured, allow the UE to monitor fewer carriers than required by increased carrier monitoring. Other embodiments may be disclosed and/or claimed.

Abstract: A prioritized cell identification and measurement method is disclosed. The method classifies frequency layers to be monitored and measured by an user equipment into normal- and reduced-performance groups. Several different embodiments are described. Where appropriate, the corresponding signaling design is also suggested. User equipment can adopt one or several of these embodiments, and can change configurations in a semi-static manner based on operating conditions.

Abstract: Various embodiments may be generally directed to techniques for configuring a secondary RF chain of a mobile device—in particular, a secondary receiver chain—to perform wireless network measurements when the secondary RF chain is not used for data communications. Various embodiments provide for a primary RF chain to provide data communications with a wireless network and for the secondary RF chain to be capable of providing aggregated data communications with the wireless network. Various embodiments provide for the mobile device to determine that the wireless network does not support carrier aggregation and to reconfigure the secondary receiver chain, which would otherwise be left unused or inactive, to perform wireless network measurements. System throughout can be improved in comparison to using the primary RF chain for performing the wireless network measurements.

Abstract: Embodiments of UE and methods for measurement of Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ) are generally described herein. The UE may be configured to determine an RSRQ of a serving cell and an RSRQ of a target cell based on an indicated RSRQ measurement type. The measurement type may be received as part of a measurement configuration Information Element (IE) that indicates a first or second RSRQ measurement type. For the first RSRQ measurement type, the RSRQ may be determined based on a Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) over common reference signals (CRS). For the second RSRQ measurement type, the RSRQ may be determined based on an RSSI that is based on a received power of one or more Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbols received at the UE.
