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 information on the at least one of the radio frames in the sequence and a controller () operable to determine information on a measurement configuration for a mobile transceiver () associated to the base station transceiver () based on the received information. The information on the measurement configuration comprises information on a periodic signal quality measurement at the mobile transceiver () on radio signals received from the base station transceiver () during a time interval. The information on the measurement configuration comprises information positioning the time interval in the sequence to the same position for at least two subsequent signal quality measurements.
