MBMS METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PHYSICAL LAYER MEASUREMENTS IN MBMS SYSTEMS

摘要

Methods, apparatus, and computer program products for wireless communication are provided. An apparatus, e.g., a user equipment (UE), receives reporting requirements for one or more multicast-broadcast single frequency network (MBSFN) physical layer parameters. The UE obtains one or more MBSFN physical layer parameters including at least one parameter corresponding to the reference signal and generates a report based on the obtained one or more MBSFN physical layer parameters. The UE may obtain one or more MBSFN physical layer parameters using user-plane or control-plane based mechanisms. The user-plane mechanism involves the use of a modified version of the reporting mechanism for experience quality (QoE) metrics. The control-plane mechanism involves the use of a modified version of the reporting mechanism for Minimization of Drive Tests (MDT) metrics.
