Design of aperiodic quality report in connected mode using same quality definition as in MSG3 for REL-16 EMTC

摘要

An approach to a user equipment (UE) for enhanced machine type communication (eMTC) in a connected mode is described, wherein the UE includes processor circuitry and wireless front end circuitry. The processor circuitry is configured to perform a downlink (DL) quality measurement and to generate a DL quality report based on the DL quality measurement, wherein a definition of the DL quality report matches a definition of the quality report in Msg3. The wireless front end circuitry is configured to transmit a DL quality report to a next-generation base station (gNB).
