Systems and methods of transmitting measurement reports

摘要

Systems and methods for transmission of measurement reports are provided. In some cases, once a mobile station transmits a measurement report for a cell, such as an uncontrolled cell, then the mobile station transmits some further minimum number of measurement reports. In some cases, a mobile station can only transmit measurement reports for a cell up to some maximum or for some specified time. The mobile station transmits measurement reports using two formats. In the first, the cell is identified using routing parameters; in the second, the cell is not identified using routing parameters. The network is able to associate messages sent using the two formats.

1. A method comprising:
detecting a cell and performing signal strength measurements in respect of the cell; in respect of the cell, transmitting at least one measurement report using a first measurement report format; and in respect of the cell, transmitting at least one measurement report using a second measurement report format, wherein the first measurement report format is a measurement report format that includes cell identity; and wherein the second measurement report format is a measurement report format that does not include the cell identity; and wherein transmitting measurement reports comprises transmitting a defined sequence of measurement reports using the first measurement report format and measurement reports that use the second measurement report format.
