Abstract
Techniques described herein permit a narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) user equipment (UE) to combine narrowband reference signals (NRS) with other signals, which the NB-IoT UE already receives, to improve measurement accuracy. The UE may report whether the UE is capable of combining the NRS with another signal to determine a combined signal quality parameter, and may report the combined signal quality parameter to a base station.
