Cell
In 5G NR, for the procedures such as handover to a stronger cells or adding a new
Carrier Component (CC) in the case of Carrier Aggression, it is required to measure
the serving cell and neighbor cell signal strength or signal quality matrix i.e. RSRP or
RSRQ. This requirement enables the measurement process to be executed
appropriately, maintaining the radio link quality.
The SSB periodicity can be configured for each cell in the range of 5,10,20,40,80 or
160 ms. However, mobile device do not need to measure cell signal with periodicity
as the SSB and the appropriate measurement periodicity can be configured
according to the channel condition. This is desirable and can help to avoid
unnecessary measurements and reduce the power consumption on Mobile Device
(UE).
As shown in figure, the SMTC window periodicity can be set in the same range of
SSB i.e. 5, 10, 20, 40, 80 or 160 ms and window duration can be set to 1, 2, 3, 4, or
5 ms, according to the number of SSBs transmitted on the cell being measured.
Here we can see that NR cell “A” and NR cell “B” are measured with different
window periodicity and different window duration. When a Device (UE) has been
notified of SMTC window by base station, it detects and measure the SSBs within
that window and reports the measurement results back to the base station. A UE
does not major any SSB index out of the SMTC duration.
Meas Gap length should be greater then SMTC window length. Thus base station
appropriately set the SMTC window and meas gap length based on the SSB burst
periodicity.
How it is notified to UE
The measurement configuration provides UE this information with RRC message
under measObjectToAddMod as part of MeasObjectNR IE. It is contains following
information
SSB-MTC field
periodicityAndOffset: Periodicity and offset of the measurement window in
which to receive SS/PBCH blocks. Periodicity and offset are given in number
of subframes.
duration:Duration of the measurement window in which to receive SS/PBCH
blocks. It is given in number of subframes
