Abstract
Techniques for making measurements of cells in a wireless network are disclosed. In an aspect, cells to be measured are arranged into groups with different priorities. Groups with higher priority include stronger cells, which are measured more frequently and/or with more filtering to improve measurement accuracy. In one design, a user entity determines a plurality of groups of cells to make measurements. Each group includes at least one cell, and the plurality of groups have different priorities. The user entity determines a measurement interval for each of the plurality of groups of cells, with higher priority groups having shorter measurement intervals. The user entity schedules each cell in each group for measurement at least once (e.g., once) within the measurement interval for that group. The user entity makes measurements for the plurality of groups of cells based on the measurement interval for each group.
