Method, apparatus, and system for measuring aggregated carrier cell
First Claim
1. A method for measuring an aggregated carrier cell configured with multiple component carriers, the method comprising:
- obtaining, by a user equipment, a current signal estimation value of a non-active component carrier among the multiple component carriers;
selecting, by the user equipment, a measurement period for the non-active component carrier from a plurality of measurement periods available for the user equipment, according to the current signal estimation value of the non-active component carrier;
performing, by the user equipment, measurement on the non-active component carrier according to the measurement period selected for the non-active component carrier,wherein the plurality of available measurement periods each has a corresponding relationship with a different signal estimation value range, and the measurement period selected for the non-active component carrier corresponds to the current signal estimation value of the non-active component carrier according to a signal estimation value range for the measurement period selected.

Abstract
A method for measuring an aggregated carrier cell includes: obtaining, by a user equipment, measurement configuration information of an aggregated carrier cell, where the measurement configuration information includes signal estimation value information and a corresponding measurement period thereof; obtaining, by the user equipment, a measurement period of a non-active component carrier according to a signal estimation value of the non-active component carrier in the aggregated carrier cell and the measurement configuration information; and measuring the non-active component carrier according to the measurement period. With the method of the present invention, the user equipment can measure different component carriers in an aggregated carrier cell in different periods.
