METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PERFORMING MEASUREMENTS DURING IDLE MODE IN A HETEROGENEOUS NETWORK ENVIRONMENT

摘要

The present invention provides a method for performing measurements during idle mode of a user equipment in a wireless communication environment, comprising: obtaining at least one measurement resource restriction pattern by a user equipment during an idle mode; performing unrestricted measurements of Reference Symbol Received Power (RSRP) and Reference Symbol Received Quality (RSRQ) of a currently camped cell during the idle mode; determining whether an entry condition for applying at least one measurement resource restriction pattern is met using a cell re-selection rule based on the unrestricted measurements of RSRP and RSRQ of the currently camped cell; applying the at least one obtained measurement resource restriction pattern if the entry condition is met; and performing restricted measurements of RSRP and RSRQ of the currently camped cell using the at least one applied measurement resource restriction pattern during the idle mode of the user equipment. According to the present invention, a system and method for performing measurements during idle mode of user equipment in a heterogeneous network environment is provided.
