 the UE. For frequency range 2; however, the SS- RSRP is measured based on the combined signal from antenna elements corresponding to a given receiver branch. For frequency ranges 1 and 2 if receiver diversity is used by the UE, the reported SS-RSRP value must not be lower than the corresponding SS- RSRP of any of the individual receiver branches [10]. SS block-based RRM measurement timing configuration or SMTC is the measurement window periodicity/ duration/offset information for UE RRM measurement per carrier frequency. For intra-frequency connected mode measurement, up to two measurement window periodicities can be configured. For the idle mode mea- surements, a single SMTC is configured per carrier frequency. For inter-frequency connected mode measure- ments, a single SMTC is configured per carrier frequency.

OFDM Signal Indication OFDM Symbol Indices SS-RSSI-MeasurementSymbolConfig {0,1} {0,1,2,...,10,11} {0,1,2,...,5} {0,1,2,...,7} Secondary Synchronization Signal-Reference Signal Received Quality (SS-RSRQ) is defined as the ratio of NRB X SS_RSRP/NR_carrier_RSSI, where NRB is the number of resource blocks in the received signal strength indicator (RSSI) measurement bandwidth of the NR carrier. The latter measurements are conducted over the same set of resource blocks. The NR carrier RSSI, NR_carrier_RSSI, comprises the linear average of the total received power [in (Watts)] observed over certain OFDM symbols within measure- ment time resource(s), in the measurement bandwidth, over NRB number of resource blocks from all sources, including co-channel serving and non-serving cells, adjacent channel interference, and thermal noise. The measurement time resource(s) for NR_carrier_RSSI are confined within SMTC window duration. If indicated by higher layers, for a half-frame with SS/PBCH blocks, NR_carrier_RSSI is measured over OFDM symbols of the indicated slots shown in Table
