Handling signal quality measurements in a wireless communication network
First Claim
1. One or more non-transitory computer readable media having instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, causes a user equipment (UE) to:
- control receipt of a radio resource control (RRC) message from an evolved NodeB (eNB), wherein the RRC message is to include a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) configuration (resourceConfig) to indicate a set of CSI-RS resources and the RRC message is to include individual power parameters to be applied to measurements of corresponding CSI-RS resources of the set of CSI-RS resources, and wherein the individual power parameters indicate an amount of power to adjust measurement results;
determine, based on the RRC message, an individual CSI-RS resource of the set of CSI-RS resources and an individual power parameter to be applied to a measurement of the individual CSI-RS resource;
generate a measurement for the individual CSI-RS resource;
apply the individual power parameter to the generated measurement of the individual CSI-RS resource; and
generate a measurement report to indicate a result the generated measurement of the individual CSI-RS resource.

Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure describe techniques and configurations for handling signal quality measurements by a wireless device in a wireless network environment, particularly in a coordinated transmission environment. An apparatus may include computer-readable media having instructions and one or more processors coupled with the media and configured to execute the instructions to generate a power parameter corresponding to a power adjustment associated with a reference signal, provide the reference signal generated based in part on the generated power parameter to a wireless device, and provide the power parameter to transmission points operating in the coordinated transmission environment. Each of the transmission points may be configured to communicate the power parameter to the wireless device, and the wireless device may be configured to determine, based at least in part on the power parameter, a power characteristics associated with a channel in which the reference signal is provided.
