Coordinated multipoint network measurement set management
First Claim
1. An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor; and
at least one memory including computer program code, where the at least one memory and the computer program code are configured, with the at least one processor, to cause the apparatus to at least;
measure, at the apparatus, a signal power of a cell specific reference signal for a cell having a plurality of transmission points in a network;
based on the measuring, identify a change in the signal power of the cell specific reference signal; and
based on the identified change in the signal power of the cell specific reference signal, trigger a measurement of a signal power of at least one other reference signal in the network,wherein the signal power of the cell specific reference signal for the cell comprises a signal power of a cell specific reference signal from a serving base station of the apparatus.

Abstract
The exemplary embodiments of the invention relate to at least a method and apparatus to perform determining, at a user device, an initial signal power of a cell specific reference signal and a signal power for each reference signal of at least one reference signal in a network; identifying a change as compared to at least one of the initial signal power of the cell specific reference signal and the at least one reference signal; and based on the identifying, triggering another determining of a signal power of reference signals of the at least one reference signal in the network. Further, the exemplary embodiments relate to at least a method and apparatus to perform configuring, at a network device, at least one reference signal, sending, towards a user equipment of a network, information including an indication of the at least one reference signal, sending, towards the user equipment a request to perform signal power or signal quality measurements of the indicated at least one reference signal; and sending, towards the user equipment of a network, a threshold to be used by the user equipment of the network in the measurement procedure of signal power or signal quality of the indicated at least on reference signal.
