Abstract
Carrier aggregation (CA) is one of the most distinct features for LTE-Advanced, which is being standardized in 3GPP as part of LTE Release 10. In this paper we study the performance of measurements for deactivated component carriers with the help of initial dynamic system simulations. The detailed simulation assumptions for the system level evaluations focusing on the measurements and the corresponding simulation results are listed. Based on these simulation results, the impact of different measurement intervals and measurement periods of SCell (the serving cell on the secondary carrier) on end-user and system mobility performance is analyzed. Furthermore, some proposals on how SCell measurement period could be relaxed at most are obtained.
