Abstract  Abstract

A method for performing radio usage measurements to support radio link operations and/or load balancing may be performed at an evolved Node B (eNB). The method may include determining a first radio usage parameter. The first radio usage parameter may be a measurement of radio usage between an eNB and at least one wireless transmit receive unit (WTRU). The method may further include determining a second radio usage parameter. The second radio usage parameter may be a measurement of radio usage between the eNB and at least one relay node (RN) served by the eNB. The method may further include utilizing at least one of the first radio usage parameter or the second radio usage parameter to evaluate at least one of evolved universal terrestrial radio access (E-UTRA) radio link operations, radio resource management (RRM), network operations and maintenance (OAM), and self-organizing networks (SON) functions or functionalities.
