According to an aspect, there is provided a network deployment analysis apparatus. It is assumed that information on a wireless communications network of first and second types are maintained in a database. The network deployment analysis apparatus causes performing downlink measurements on reference signals transmitted by one or more access nodes in the wireless communications network of the first type using a plurality of terminal devices in said network. In response to receiving information on results of the downlink measurements, the network deployment analysis apparatus calculates one or more values of traffic absorption capability associated with one or more potential cell deployments in a wireless communications network of the second type based on the received information and the information maintained in the database. The results of the calculating are outputted to a user device for facilitating network planning of the wireless communications network of the second type.

A wireless device receives configuration parameters indicating resource configurations of reference signals for a layer 1 reference signal received power (RSRP) reporting of a secondary cell. A control element indicating activation of the secondary cell is received. In response to the control element, a layer 1 RSRP report is transmitted. The layer 1 RSRP report comprises: a first field indicating a reference signal of the reference signals of the secondary cell; and a second field indicating a layer 1 RSRP value of the reference signal.

UE-related measurements taken on a Pcell in a wireless communication system are formed into a set of data. The Pcell overlaps with Scell(s). The UE-related measurements on the P cell are for a specific UE in the Pcell. Using a ML algorithm applied to the set of data, achievable channel quality is predicted for the specific UE for each of the Scell(s). The predicted achievable channel qualities are output for the specific UE to be used for Scell selection. At a RAN node, the set of data is sent toward an S cell prediction module for the module to determine information suitable to enable Scell selection for the specific UE. The RAN node receives information from the module allowing the RAN node to inform the selected UE of Scell(s) to be used for Scell selection for the specific UE. A node may train the ML algorithm using UE-related measurements on the Pcell.

One disclosure of the present specification provides a measurement method. The measurement method comprises the steps of: performing a reference signal received power (RSRP) measurement on the basis of a synchronization signal block (SSB), which is received from a serving cell; performing a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) measurement by using a reference signal, which is received in a bandwidth part (BWP), when a frequency band of the SSB is not included in the BWP, which is set for a terminal; and determining reference symbol received quality (RSRQ) on the basis of the results of the performed RSRP measurement and the performed RSSI measurement.
