MEASUREMENT CONFIGURATION TECHNIQUES FOR WIDEBAND COVERAGE ENHANCEMENT (WCE)-CAPABLE DEVICES

摘要

Measurement configuration techniques for wideband coverage enhancement (WCE)-capable devices are described. According to various such techniques, a WCE-capable UE may be configured to recognize and apply distinct respective discovery signal measurement timing configurations (DMTCs) for WCE discovery reference signal (DRS) measurements and non-WCE DRS measurements. In some embodiments, the DMTC for WCE DRS measurements may specify a longer measurement periodicity for WCE DRS measurements than that applicable to non-WCE DRS measurements. In some embodiments, the DMTC for WCE DRS measurements may specify a larger measurement window for WCE DRS measurements than that applicable to non-WCE DRS measurements. In some embodiments, the WCE-capable UE may be configured to recognize and distinct respective measurement gap configurations for WCE and non-WCE measurements. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
