UE measurements for hot spot detection

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for acquiring radio measurements in a mobile communication system. In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, the method comprises the steps of. —within a serving cell (A) operated by a radio access node (eNBA) and serving a particular user equipment (UEX), sending measurement control information (meas_ctrl_info) from the radio access node to the particular user equipment whereby the particular user equipment is configured to perform radio measurements, —within a further serving cell (B) operated by a further radio access node (eNBB) and subsequently serving the particular user equipment, sending a measurement report (meas_report) from the particular user equipment to the further radio access node comprising measurement data (meas_data) as configured by the serving cell and a cell identifier (PCIA) of the serving cell, —transferring the measurement data from the further radio access node back to the radio access node. The present invention also relates to a user equipment and to a radio access node operable to form part of a mobile communication system.

主权项

1. A user equipment for supporting report of radio measurement information in a radio access network, the user equipment comprising at least one processor configured to:
establish a connection to a first radio access node operating a first serving cell, receive a radio measurement configuration from said first radio access node, store measurement data related to a radio measurement performed in accordance with said radio measurement configuration, detect a radio link failure or handover failure, resume or establish a connection to a second radio access node operating a second serving cell, and provide said stored measurement data and cell identifier information of said first serving cell towards said second radio access node.
