USER EQUIPMENT AND METHOD FOR ENSURING CONTINUOUS SERVICE RECEPTION IN WIRELESS NETWORK
First Claim
1. A method for ensuring continuous service reception in a wireless network, the method comprising:
- obtaining, by user equipment (UE), configuration information of at least one neighboring cell;
determining, by the UE according to configuration information of a serving cell and the configuration information of the at least one neighboring cell, that at least two cells of all cells comprising the serving cell and the at least one neighboring cell belong to a same area to which a same multimedia broadcast multicast service belongs;
during measurement of a reference signal, combining, by the UE, reference signal measurement values of the at least two cells that belong to the same area to which the same multimedia broadcast multicast service belongs to, obtain a combined measurement value, or, combining reference signals of the at least two cells that belong to the same area to which the same multimedia broadcast multicast service belongs, and performing measurement to obtain a combined measurement value; and
deciding, by the UE according to the combined measurement value, whether to perform cell reselection;
or, triggering sending of a measurement report to a base station, and sending a measurement report message to the base station, wherein the measurement report message comprises the combined measurement value.

Abstract
The present invention provides user equipment and a method for ensuring continuous service reception in a wireless network. User equipment (UE) obtains configuration information of a neighboring cell; the UE determines that at least two cells of all cells including the serving cell and the neighboring cell belong to a same area to which a same multimedia broadcast multicast service belongs; and during measurement of a reference signal, the UE combines reference signal measurement values of at least two cells that belong to the area of the same multimedia broadcast multicast service to obtain a combined measurement value, and compares the combined measurement value with a measurement value of another cell, so as to determine whether to perform reselection. Therefore, in a handover determining process, radio signal quality of a single cell is prevented from being underestimated, so that an unnecessary handover procedure is avoided, thereby ensuring quality of a radio signal obtained by UE.
