5.1.1  SS reference signal received power (SS-RSRP)p. 9

Definition
SS reference signal received power (SS-RSRP) is defined as the linear average over the power contributions (in [W]) of the resource elements that carry secondary synchronization signals. The measurement time resource(s) for SS-RSRP are confined within SS/PBCH Block Measurement Time Configuration (SMTC) window duration. If SS-RSRP is used for L1-RSRP as configured by reporting configurations as defined in TS 38.214, the measurement time resources(s) restriction by SMTC window duration is not applicable.
For SS-RSRP determination demodulation reference signals for physical broadcast channel (PBCH) and, if indicated by higher layers, CSI reference signals in addition to secondary synchronization signals may be used. SS-RSRP using demodulation reference signal for PBCH or CSI reference signal shall be measured by linear averaging over the power contributions of the resource elements that carry corresponding reference signals taking into account power scaling for the reference signals as defined in TS 38.213. If SS-RSRP is not used for L1-RSRP, the additional use of CSI reference signals for SS-RSRP determination is not applicable.
SS-RSRP shall be measured only among the reference signals corresponding to SS/PBCH blocks with the same SS/PBCH block index and the same physical-layer cell identity.
If SS-RSRP is not used for L1-RSRP and higher-layers indicate certain SS/PBCH blocks for performing SS-RSRP measurements, then SS-RSRP is measured only from the indicated set of SS/PBCH block(s).
For frequency range 1, the reference point for the SS-RSRP shall be the antenna connector of the UE. For frequency range 2, SS-RSRP shall be measured based on the combined signal from antenna elements corresponding to a given receiver branch. For frequency range 1 and 2, if receiver diversity is in use by the UE, the reported SS-RSRP value shall not be lower than the corresponding SS-RSRP of any of the individual receiver branches.
Applicable for
If SS-RSRP is used for L1-RSRP,
  • RRC_CONNECTED intra-frequency.
Otherwise,
  • RRC_IDLE intra-frequency,
  • RRC_IDLE inter-frequency,
  • RRC_INACTIVE intra-frequency,

5.1.2  CSI reference signal received power (CSI-RSRP)p. 10

Definition
CSI reference signal received power (CSI-RSRP), is defined as the linear average over the power contributions (in [W]) of the resource elements of the antenna port(s) that carry CSI reference signals configured for RSRP measurements within the considered measurement frequency bandwidth in the configured CSI-RS occasions.
For CSI-RSRP determination CSI reference signals transmitted on antenna port 3000 according to TS 38.211 shall be used. If CSI-RSRP is used for L1-RSRP, CSI reference signals transmitted on antenna ports 3000, 3001 can be used for CSI-RSRP determination.
For intra-frequency CSI-RSRP measurements, if the measurement gap is not configured, UE is not expected to measure the CSI-RS resource(s) outside of the active downlink bandwidth part.
For frequency range 1, the reference point for the CSI-RSRP shall be the antenna connector of the UE. For frequency range 2, CSI-RSRP shall be measured based on the combined signal from antenna elements corresponding to a given receiver branch. For frequency range 1 and 2, if receiver diversity is in use by the UE, the reported CSI-RSRP value shall not be lower than the corresponding CSI-RSRP of any of the individual receiver branches.
Applicable for

5.1.3  SS reference signal received quality (SS-RSRQ)p. 11

Definition
Secondary synchronization signal reference signal received quality (SS-RSRQ) is defined as the ratio of N×SS-RSRP / NR carrier RSSI, where N is the number of resource blocks in the NR carrier RSSI measurement bandwidth. The measurements in the numerator and denominator shall be made over the same set of resource blocks.
NR carrier Received Signal Strength Indicator (NR carrier RSSI), comprises the linear average of the total received power (in [W]) observed only in certain OFDM symbols of measurement time resource(s), in the measurement bandwidth, over N number of resource blocks from all sources, including co-channel serving and non-serving cells, adjacent channel interference, thermal noise etc. For cell selection, according to Clause 4.1 of TS 38.133, the measurement time resources(s) for NR Carrier RSSI are not constrained. Otherwise, the measurement time resource(s) for NR Carrier RSSI are confined within SS/PBCH Block Measurement Time Configuration (SMTC) window duration.
If indicated by higher-layers, if measurement gap is not used, the NR Carrier RSSI is measured in slots within the SMTC window duration that are indicated by the higher layer parameter measurementSlots and in OFDM symbols given by Table 5.1.3-1 and, if measurement gap is used, the NR Carrier RSSI is measured in slots within the SMTC window duration that are indicated by the higher layer parameter measurementSlots and in OFDM symbols given by Table 5.1.3-1 that are overlapped with the measurement gap, which is defined in TS 38.133.
  • For intra-frequency measurements, NR Carrier RSSI is measured with timing reference corresponding to the serving cell in the frequency layer
  • For inter-frequency measurements, NR Carrier RSSI is measured with timing reference corresponding to any cell in the target frequency layer
Otherwise not indicated by higher-layers, if measurement gap is not used, NR Carrier RSSI is measured from OFDM symbols within SMTC window duration and, if measurement gap is used, NR Carrier RSSI is measured from OFDM symbols corresponding to overlapped time span between SMTC window duration and the measurement gap.
If higher-layers indicate certain SS/PBCH blocks for performing SS-RSRQ measurements, then SS-RSRP is measured only from the indicated set of SS/PBCH block(s).
For frequency range 1, the reference point for the SS-RSRQ shall be the antenna connector of the UE. For frequency range 2, NR Carrier RSSI shall be measured based on the combined signal from antenna elements corresponding to a given receiver branch, where the combining for NR Carrier RSSI shall be the same as the one used for SS-RSRP measurements. For frequency range 1 and 2, if receiver diversity is in use by the UE, the reported SS-RSRQ value shall not be lower than the corresponding SS-RSRQ of any of the individual receiver branches.

5.1.5  SS signal-to-noise and interference ratio (SS-SINR)p. 12

Definition
SS signal-to-noise and interference ratio (SS-SINR), is defined as the linear average over the power contribution (in [W]) of the resource elements carrying secondary synchronisation signals divided by the linear average of the noise and interference power contribution (in [W]). If SS-SINR is used for L1-SINR reporting with dedicated interference measurement resources, the interference and noise is measured over resource(s) indicated by higher layers as described in TS 38.214. Otherwise, the interference and noise are measured over the resource elements carrying secondary synchronisation signals within the same frequency bandwidth. The measurement time resource(s) for SS-SINR are confined within SS/PBCH Block Measurement Time Configuration (SMTC) window duration. If SS-SINR is used for L1-SINR as configured by reporting configurations defined in TS 38.214, the measurement time resources(s) restriction by SMTC window duration is not applicable.
For SS-SINR determination demodulation reference signals for physical broadcast channel (PBCH) in addition to secondary synchronization signals may be used.
If SS-SINR is not used for L1-SINR and higher-layers indicate certain SS/PBCH blocks for performing SS-SINR measurements, then SS-SINR is measured only from the indicated set of SS/PBCH block(s).
For frequency range 1, the reference point for the SS-SINR shall be the antenna connector of the UE. For frequency range 2, SS-SINR shall be measured based on the combined signal from antenna elements corresponding to a given receiver branch. For frequency range 1 and 2, if receiver diversity is in use by the UE, the reported SS-SINR value shall not be lower than the corresponding SS-SINR of any of the individual receiver branches.
