Abstract

Methods and apparatus' of determining radio link quality are disclosed. According to various implementations, information indicating the time-frequency blocks to be monitored by a UE to enable the UE to locate a control channel is determined. The UE receives configuration information regarding resources used by a channel state information reference signal. It also receives configuration information regarding an interference measurement resource, as well as a channel state information reference signal. The channel state information reference signal uses the channel state information reference signal resources. A synchronization condition is determined based on the time frequency blocks to be monitored by the UE, the received channel state information reference signal and the interference measurement resource. The determined synchronization condition is sent to a higher layer.
