Abstract
Embodiments relate to an apparatus, a method and a computer program for a base station transceiver () for a mobile communication system (). The base station transceiver () is operable in a coverage area () of another base station transceiver (). The other base station transceiver () is operable to transmit radio signals in a repetitive sequence of radio frames, wherein in at least one of the radio frames in the sequence the other base station transceiver () is operable to transmit with a reduced transmission power or to suspend transmission compared to at least one other of the radio frames in the sequence. The apparatus () comprises an interface () operable to receive sequence information on the at least one of the radio frames in the sequence, during which the other base station transceiver () is operable to transmit with the reduced transmission power or to suspend transmission compared to the at least one other of the radio frames in the sequence. The apparatus () further comprises a controller () operable to determine configuration information on a measurement configuration for a mobile transceiver () associated to the base station transceiver (), wherein the configuration information comprises information on a signal quality measurement at the mobile transceiver () on radio signals received from the base station transceiver (). The signal quality measurement is performed during a time interval with a duration being predetermined by the mobile transceiver (). The controller () is further operable to determine duration information on the duration of the time interval and the controller () is operable to determine the configuration information based on the sequence information and the duration information.
