1. A method of operation of a User Equipment (UE) to perform cell quality derivation in a wireless communication network, the method comprising:
obtaining, via Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling from a network node, a measurement configuration that includes a list of measurement objects, wherein the list of measurement objects includes a measurement object of a serving cell, the measurement object of the serving cell specifying a Synchronization Signal/Physical Broadcast Channel block (SS/PBCH block) frequency;
obtaining a serving cell configuration of the serving cell, the serving cell configuration providing frequency information that specifies an absolute frequency of an SS/PBCH block to be used for the serving cell, wherein the absolute frequency of the SS/PBCH block to be used for the serving cell matches the SS/PBCH block frequency of the measurement object;
obtaining parameters to perform cell quality derivation for the serving cell of the UE from the measurement object; and
performing cell quality derivation for the serving cell based on the obtained parameters;
wherein the parameters comprise an absolute threshold for a reference signal type.
