Neighbour Configuration - Measurement Configuration
- Neighbour and Measurement Configurations are prepared and processed. Note: intra-frequency only
-
neighbour_config.conf
keeps the parameters and it can be included to gNB.conf files. - Neighbour Configuration | Measurement Configuration structures are defined. RRC structure keeps these configuration structs.
- Measurement Configuration is prepared according to serving cell's Neighbour config & Measurement Configuration
- Measurement Report Processing is extended in order to process A2 / A3 Events
Description of the configuration parameters:
Neighbour List:
- nr_cellid: the identity of existing cell who has neighbour
- neighbour_cell_configuration(list): includes the identity parameters of the neighbour cell such:
- gNBID (incase of N2 Handover / to be identified from AMF)
- nr_cell_id (target gNB needs to consider)
- physical_cellId (needed for measurement reporting)
- absoluteFrequencySSB (needed for measurement reporting)
- subcarrierSpacing (needed for measurement reporting)
- plmn / tracking area code (incase of N2 Handover / needed for AMF to identify / allow HO)
NR Measurement Configuration
- Periodical
- enable (default is 1, 0 disables the reporting)
- includeBeamMeasurements, maxNrOfRS_IndexesToReport (configurable reporting parameters)
- A2
- enable (default is 1, 0 disables the reporting)
- threshold , timeToTrigger (configurable reporting parameters)
- A3
- cell_id (the nr_cellid of neighbour cell. So this A3 parameters will be used for the neighbour
- [-1] means default. so it can be applied to any neighbour if there is no specific config
- Neighbour specific A3 Threshold can be used or default can be selected depending to the neighbour planning
- The neighbour-config.conf specifies, apply default A3 for neighbours 3 and 4 | apply specific one for neighbour 2
- offset, hysteresis, timeToTrigger (configurable reporting parameters)
