Abstract

Methods and apparatuses are disclosed for handling a configuration for measurement by a User Equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system. The method includes connecting to a serving cell. The method further includes receiving a first signaling that includes a measurement configuration. The method also includes applying the measurement configuration upon receiving a second signaling indicating to start performing measurement.

Claims

1. A method for handling a configuration for measurement by a User Equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

connecting to a serving cell;

receiving a first signaling, wherein the first signaling includes a measurement configuration; and

applying the measurement configuration upon receiving a second signaling indicating to start performing measurement.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

stopping the application of the measurement configuration upon receiving a third signaling, wherein the third signaling indicates to stop performing the measurement.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the UE does not leave Radio Resource Control Connected (RRC_CONNECTED) due to the second signaling.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the first signaling is a Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection reconfiguration message.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the measurement configuration includes MeasConfig or measuring a serving cell, intra-frequency cell, inter-frequency cell, or inter-RAT cell.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the measurement configuration includes reporting measured results based on an event or reporting the measured results periodically.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the second signaling is transmitting to multiple UEs.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the second signaling is a paging message, Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) signaling, Medium Access Control (MAC) control element, or system information.

9. A method for handling a configuration for measurement by a User Equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

camping on a serving cell;

receiving a first signaling, wherein the first signaling includes a cell reselection configuration; and

applying the cell reselection configuration upon receiving a second signaling indicating to start performing cell reselection evaluation.

10. The method of claim 9, further comprising:

stopping the application of the cell reselection configuration upon receiving a third signaling, wherein the third signaling indicates to stop performing the cell reselection evaluation.

11. The method of claim 9, wherein the second signaling is transmitting to multiple UEs.

12. The method of claim 9, wherein the second signaling is a paging message, Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) signaling, Medium Access Control (MAC) control element, or system information.

13. The method of claim 9, wherein the first signaling is system information.

14. The method of claim 9, wherein the cell reselection configuration includes SystemInformationBlockType3, SystemInformationBlockType4, SystemInfomationBlockType5, SystemInformationBlockType6, SystemInformationBlockType 7, or SystemInformationBlockType8.

15. The method of claim 9, wherein the cell reselection configuration includes measuring a cell the UE camps on, an intra-frequency cell, inter-frequency cell, or inter-RAT cell.

16. The method of claim 9, wherein the UE is in Radio Resource Control Idle (RRC_IDLE).

17. A communication device for handling a configuration for measurement in a wireless communication system, the communication device comprising:

a control circuit;

a processor installed in the control circuit;

a memory installed in the control circuit and operatively coupled to the processor;

wherein the processor is configured to execute a program code stored in memory to handle a configuration for measurement in the wireless communication system by;

connecting to a serving cell;

receiving a first signaling, wherein the first signaling includes a measurement configuration; and

applying the measurement configuration upon receiving a second signaling indicating to start performing measurement.

18. The communication device of claim 17, further comprising:

stopping the application of the measurement configuration upon receiving a third signaling, wherein the third signaling indicates to stop performing the measurement.

19. The communication device of claim 17, wherein the first signaling is a Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection reconfiguration message.

20. The communication device of claim 17, wherein the second signaling is a paging message, Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) signaling, Medium Access Control (MAC) control element, or system information.
