Abstract

A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) in communication with a wireless network that may include a base station (or base node) and a cell that may be in a dormant mode is contemplated. The WTRU may determine that the WTRU may be within a vicinity of the cell and may generate a report that includes one or more measurements related to a location of the WTRU. The WTRU may transmit the report to the network and may receive an indication to perform one or more measurements related to the cell. The one or more measurements related to the cell may be based on a Common Pilot Channel (CPICH), a Synchronization Channel (SCH), and/or a Broadcast Channel (Primary Common Control Physical Channel) (BCH P-CCPCH) that may be transmitted by the cell upon a command from a base node.
