Abstract
When a user equipment performs inter-cell measurement, it may desire to measure signal quality and signal level of a source radio access technology (RAT) cell and a target cell. The signal quality measurement may be Squal and the signal level measurement may be Srxlev. Because Squal is not defined for TD-SCDMA, a new measurement criteria is defined to allow proper comparison of source RAT cell measurements with target RAT cell measurements when a user equipment is considering switching to a target cell.
