Technique for performing cell measurement on at least two cells
First Claim
1. A method of performing at least one measurement on at least a first cell and a second cell, the first cell employing i) a first Radio Access Technology (RAT), different from a second RAT of the second cell, and ii) a first carrier substantially the same as a second carrier of the second cell, the method being performed in a User Equipment (UE) and comprising the step of:
- configuring the UE to perform the at least one measurement on the first and second cells substantially simultaneously.

Abstract
A technique for performing at least one measurement on at least a first cell and a second cell is disclosed. The first cell employs i) a first Radio Access Technology (RAT), different from a second RAT of the second cell, and ii) a first carrier substantially the same as a second carrier of the second cell. In a method aspect, the method is performed in a by a User Equipment (UE), and comprises the step of configuring the UE to perform the at least one measurement on the first and second cells substantially simultaneously with UE operations different from the at least one measurement.

27. A user equipment (UE) for performing at least one measurement on at least a first cell and a second cell, the first cell employing i) a first Radio Access Technology (RAT) different from a second RAT of the second cell, and ii) a first carrier substantially the same as a second carrier of the second cell, the UE comprising:
a configurator configured to configure the UE to perform the at least one measurement on the first and second cells substantially simultaneously with UE operations different from the at least one measurement.

28. A method of causing a User Equipment (UE) to perform at least one measurement on at least a first cell and a second cell, the first cell employing i) a first Radio Access Technology (RAT), different from a second RAT of the second cell, and ii) a first carrier substantially the same as a second carrier of the second cell, the method being performed in a network node that is remote from the UE and in communication with the UE, the method comprising the steps of:
-
ascertaining cell measurement capabilities of the UE; using the ascertained cell measurement capabilities of the UE to produce configuration data comprising cell measurement parameters to be used by the UE in order to perform the at least one measurement on the first and second cells substantially simultaneously; and communicating the configuration data to the UE. - View Dependent Claims (29, 30)

31. An apparatus in a network node that causes a User Equipment (UE) to perform at least one measurement on at least a first cell and a second cell, the first cell employing i) a first Radio Access Technology (RAT), different from a second RAT of the second cell, and ii) a first carrier substantially the same as a second carrier of the second cell, the method being performed in a network node that is remote from the UE and in communication with the UE, the apparatus comprising:
-
ascertaining circuitry configured to ascertain cell measurement capabilities of the UE; configuration data producing circuitry configured to use the ascertained cell measurement capabilities of the UE to produce configuration data comprising cell measurement parameters to be used by the UE in order to perform the at least one measurement on the first and second cells substantially simultaneously; and communication circuitry configured to communicate the configuration data to the UE.
