NEIGHBOR CELL MEASUREMENT AND RESELECTION FOR NARROWBAND OPERATION

Abstract:

Aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques that may be utilized by a UE for performing neighbor cell measurement and reselection in narrowband deployment scenarios, such as NB-IoT deployment scenarios. For example, a method for wireless communications by a user equipment (UE), can include determining, while communicating in a serving cell, information regarding one or more transmission deployment mode parameters of at least one neighbor cell, and performing a neighbor cell search with measurement of narrowband reference signals (NRS) based on the one or more transmission deployment mode parameters.
