NB-IoT device performing neighboring link measurement despite refraining condition

Abstract:

A user equipment (14) in a wireless communication network detects, for a serving link, signal quality under which the user equipment (14) is permitted to refrain from performing neighbor link measurements. Responsive to detecting that the signal quality of the serving link has dropped by at least a threshold amount since detecting the signal quality under which the user equipment (14) is permitted to refrain, the user equipment (14) performs neighbor link measurements. A base station (12) transmits signaling to configure the user equipment (14) accordingly.
