Abstract

A method of reporting measurement results performed by a user equipment in a wireless communication system is provided. The method includes: measuring at least one cell; checking whether interference occurs during the measurement; and transmitting a measurement report to a network. If the interference does not occurs, the method further includes logging the measurement result in the measurement report.

Claims

1. A method of reporting measurement results performed by a user equipment in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

measuring at least one cell;

checking whether interference occurs during the measurement; and

transmitting a measurement report to a network,

wherein if the interference does not occurs, the method further comprises

logging the measurement result in the measurement report.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein if the interference occurs during the measurement, the method further comprises

skipping the step of logging;

and

discarding the measurement result.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein if the interference occurs during the measurement, the method further comprises

including skip reason information in the measurement result,

wherein the skip reason information includes information about the interference.

4. The method of claim 2, further comprising

receiving a selective report indicator from the network, the selective report indicator indicating that logging of the measurement result measured during the occurrence of the interference is skipped, wherein the step of skipping is performed in response to the reception of the selective report indicator.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of checking comprises:

determining that the interference occurs, if an in-device transmission is detected.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of checking comprises:

determining that the interference occurs, if an in-device transmission is detected and a signal power of the in-device transmission is higher that a predetermined threshold.

7. The method of claim 6, further comprising:

receiving a measurement configuration for the measurement,

wherein the measurement configuration comprises the predetermined threshold.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of checking comprises:

determining that the interference occurs, if the measurement result is acquired by measuring for a specific interval,

wherein the specific interval is a duration which is not a low-interference resource allocated for a measurement.

9. The method of claim 8, further comprising:

receiving a measurement configuration for the measurement, wherein the measurement configuration comprises information related to the low-interference resource.

10. An apparatus operating in a wireless communication system, the apparatus comprising:

a Radio Frequency (RF) unit transmits and receives radio signals; and

a processor operably coupled to the RF unit, wherein the processor is configured to;

measure at least one cell;

check whether interference occurs during the measurement; and

transmit a measurement report to a network,

wherein if the interference does not occurs, the processor further configured to;

log the measurement result in the measurement report.

11. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein if the interference occurs during the measurement, the processor further configured to:

skip the step of logging; and

discard the measurement result.

12. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein if the interference occurs during the measurement, the processor further configured to:

include skip reason information in the measurement result,

wherein the skip reason information includes information about the interference.

13. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein the processor is configured to:

receive a selective report indicator from the network, the selective report indicator indicating that logging of the measurement result measured during the occurrence of the interference is skipped, wherein the is performed in response to the reception of the selective report indicator.

14. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the checking comprises:

determining that the interference occurs, if an in-device transmission is detected.

15. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the checking comprises:

determining that the interference occurs, if an in-device transmission is detected and a signal power of the in-device transmission is higher that a predetermined threshold.

16. The apparatus of claim 15, wherein the processor is further configured to:

receive a measurement configuration for the measurement,

wherein the measurement configuration comprises the predetermined threshold.

17. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the checking comprises:

determine that the interference occurs, if the measurement result is acquired by measuring for a specific interval,

wherein the specific interval is a duration which is not a low-interference resource allocated for a measurement.

18. The apparatus of claim 17, wherein the processor is further configured to:

receive a measurement configuration for the measurement,

wherein the measurement configuration comprises information related to the low-interference resource.
