The present disclosure provides a method and a device for configuring one or more measurement parameters. The method is applied to a base station, and includes acquiring signal transmission information from a neighboring cell. The signal transmission information includes first information about the transmission of a synchronization signal and/or second information about the transmission of a reference signal for beam measurement. According to the present disclosure, it is able to solve the problem in the related art where it is impossible for a conventional measurement gap configuration mechanism to ensure that a UE is capable of successfully receiving a signal from a neighboring cell.

A method and apparatus of a UE in a wireless communication system supporting a shared spectrum channel access is provided. The method and apparatus comprises: identifying a frequency location of a synchronization signals and physical broadcast channel (SS/PBCH) block; receiving the SS/PBCH block; determining whether the frequency location of the SS/PBCH block corresponds to a global synchronization channel number (GSCN) of a synchronization raster entry; and determining an offset as a sum of a first offset and a second offset, if the frequency location of the SS/PBCH block does not correspond to the GSCN of the synchronization raster entry, wherein the offset is a difference from a smallest resource block (RB) index of a control resource set (CORESET) for Type0 physical downlink control channel (Type0-PDCCH) common search space (CSS) set to a smallest RB index of a common RB overlapping with a first RB of the SS/PBCH block.

Various embodiments herein provide techniques for indication of a starting frequency of a control resource set (CORESET). In embodiments, two modes for determining the starting frequency are provided. An access node (e.g., next generation Node B (gNB)) may send an indication to a user equipment (UE) to indicate which mode to use (e.g., in a payload of a physical broadcast channel (PBCH)). Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

This application provides a measurement method and an apparatus. In the measurement method, a communications apparatus may receive configuration information, where the configuration information includes a cell list and indication information, and the indication information is used to indicate whether a measurement event is affected by the cell list; and the communications apparatus performs a measurement evaluation based on the cell list and the indication information. In this implementation, whether to perform a trigger evaluation for a measurement result of a cell in the cell list may be determined depending on whether the measurement event is affected by the cell list, to avoid an unnecessary trigger evaluation for a cell.

[Object] To make it possible to perform measurement reporting suitable for an environment in which the on/off state of a cell is switched. [Solution] There is provided a device including: an acquiring unit configured to acquire information indicating that a serving cell is scheduled to be in an off state; and a control unit configured to perform measurement reporting before the serving cell is in the off state.

A mobile terminal assists in the updating of a neighbor cell list associated with a first cell of a wireless telecommunications network. The list comprises elements that identify other cells that have a neighbor cell relationship with the first cell. The mobile terminal comprises a radio transceiver; and a controller coupled to the radio transceiver.

Methods, systems, and devices for radio resource management (RRM) measurement and reporting for license assisted access (LAA) cells operating in unlicensed or shared frequency spectrum are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive an RRM measurement configuration including a channel occupancy parameter for measuring neighbor cells of a shared frequency band. The channel occupancy parameter may be used to determine a channel occupancy metric that may be sent to a base station for cell selection. The channel occupancy metric may include an averaged or filtered received signal strength and may be reported for serving cells and/or intra-frequency neighbor cells. A base station may further configure a UE with a discovery reference signals (DRS) measurement timing configuration (DMTC), which may include an extended DMTC search window. The UE may search for DRS transmissions from neighbor cells according to the DMTC.

In one exemplary embodiment, a method includes: inserting an indication of a cyclic prefix length into a transmission; and sending the transmission. In another exemplary embodiment, a method includes: receiving a transmission; and processing the received transmission to obtain an indication of a cyclic prefix length.

Appropriate timing may beneficial in various communication systems. For example, Long Term Evolution Advanced (LTE-A) and LTE Licensed Assisted Access (LAA) may benefit from appropriate maximum time determinations for unlicensed secondary cell (SCell) detection, measurements, and activation. A method can include determining a window for a reference signal. The method can also include communicating based on the determined window. For example, the method can include transmitting the reference signal based on the determined window. Alternatively, or in addition, the method can include providing measurement reports based on the reference signal received within the window.
