Abstract

See full text

A method and apparatus for channel measurements and reporting mechanisms for Long Term Evolution (LTE) operation in an unlicensed band in a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) are disclosed herein. The method includes that the WTRU may be in communication with a primary cell operating in a licensed band and a secondary cell operating in an unlicensed band. The WTRU may receive a request in a Downlink Control Information (DCI) signal for measurement and reporting, wherein the request may indicate at least one time/frequency resource in at least one subframe for performing a measurement in an unlicensed band. The WTRU may then perform the measurement according to the request. and send a measurement report based on the performed measurement. In an example, the indicated at least one time/frequency resource may be a set of physical resource blocks (PRBs) or resource elements (REs).
