REFERENCE SIGNAL RECEIVED POWER (RSRP) MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE FOR A COMMUNICATION SYSTEM OPERATING IN AN UNLICENSED SPECTRUM

Abstract:

Technology for a user equipment (UE) operable to perform reference signal received power (RSRP) measurements in an enhanced Machine Type Communication in an unlicensed spectrum (eMTC-U) system is disclosed. The UE can decode a presence-detection reference signal (PD-RS) received on one or more data channels from a Next Generation NodeB (gNB) in the eMTC-U system. The UE can perform an RSRP measurement using the PD-RS received on the one or more data channels from the gNB. The RSRP measurement can be performed over a selected measurement period and a selected measurement frequency bandwidth.
