Exchange of Parameters Relating to Measurement Periods
First Claim
1. A method in a first radio network node for enabling a second radio network node to determine a first parameter to be used by a user equipment for measuring at least one measurement quantity on a second cell, wherein the first parameter relates to a first measurement period, wherein the second cell is operated on a second carrier by the second radio network node, and wherein the second cell serves the user equipment, the method comprising:
- sending at least one parameter relating to the first measurement period to the second radio network node, thereby enabling the second radio network node to determine the first parameter based on said at least one parameter.

Abstract
Methods, a first, and a second network node as well as a user equipment for exchange of measurement period related parameters are provided. The user equipment (140) performs a method for measuring at least one measurement quantity on a second cell on a second carrier operated by a second radio network node (120). The user equipment (140) receives (203), from the second radio network node (120), an indication indicative of the second carrier and a first parameter to be used by the user equipment for measuring said at least one measurement quantity. The first parameter relates to at least a first measurement period. The user equipment (140) determines (205) the first measurement period based on the first parameter. Moreover, the user equipment (140) measures (207) said at least one measurement quantity on at least the second cell on the second carrier over the first measurement period. The second network node (120) performs a method for providing the first parameter to be used by the user equipment (140). The second network node (120) sends (203), to the user equipment (140), the first parameter and the indication indicative of the second carrier. The first parameter is determined based on a specific length of the first measurement period.
