Method for reporting the results of specific reference-cell-based quality measurement in a mobile communication system using carrier aggregation, and apparatus for the method
First Claim
1. A method of receiving a measurement report by a base station (BS) in a mobile communication system, the method comprising:
- transmitting, to a user equipment (UE), a radio resource control (RRC) message including information for configuring one or more second type serving cells in addition to a first type cell and a reporting criterion; and
receiving a measurement report for at least one of the first type serving cell and the one or more second type serving cells, if a result of a cell measurement satisfies the reporting criterion,wherein the reporting criterion includes an A1 event in which a strength of a reference cell becomes greater than a first threshold,wherein the RRC message indicates that the reference cell for the A1 event is one of the first type serving cell or the one or more second type serving cells,wherein the reporting criterion further includes an A3 event in which a strength of a neighbor cell becomes offset from a strength of a predetermined serving cell by a predetermined offset value,wherein the predetermined serving cell is tied to the first type serving cell without any signaling,wherein the first type serving cell is able to be configured based on at least one of the A1 event or the A3 event, andwherein the second type serving cell is prohibited from being configured based on the A3 event.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a method in which a terminal reports the results of quality measurement based on a specific reference cell from among a plurality of serving cells for the terminal in a mobile communication system using carrier aggregation. The present invention also relates to a terminal apparatus for the method. For this purpose, the terminal receives measurement configuration information from a network, performs a quality measurement in accordance with the received measurement configuration information, determines whether or not a report criterion based on a specific reference cell from among the plurality of cells for the terminal is met in accordance with the measurement result, and, if the report criterion based on the specific reference cell is met, sends a report message, including the measurement results and an indicator that indicates the specific reference cell, to the network.
