Embodiment Construction

[0076] A user equipment (UE) may use discovery reference signals (DRS) to perform measurements on serving or neighbor cells. A DRS may include synchronization signals, cell-specific reference signals, master information blocks (MIBs) and other signaling useful for identifying or attaching to a cell. The base station may transmit DRS during a periodically configured DRS transmission window (DTXW). The UE may measure the cell DRS according to a periodically configured DRS measurement timing configuration (DMTC) period. DMTC may be configured for measurements on the serving cell or neighbor cells or both. Further, in various examples, the DMTC may be frequency specific, or may be multiple frequencies where applicable.

[0077] In some cases, a UE may monitor for DRS of multiple cells that may or may not be synchronized in time. Cells that are not synchronized in time may have periodic DTXWs that are also not aligned in time. That is, the DMTC and DTXW of nearby cells may not ...

Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) may monitor a neighbor cell and report the result to a serving base station. Based on the report, the serving base station may identify an estimated discovery reference signal (DRS) transmission window of the neighbor cell. In some cases, the UE may estimate and report parameters of the neighbor DRS transmission window, and in other cases, the UE may make a measurement report and the base station may infer DRS transmission window parameters. The base station may then provide the UE with a DRS measurement timing configuration (DMTC) based on the estimated parameters of the neighbor cell so that the UE may monitor the neighbor cell and the serving cell in an efficient manner. For example, the UE mayconserve battery life by refraining from monitoring DRS during periods when a DRS transmission is not likely.
