A method comprising (for each of one or more cells of the cellular communication network) transmitting a respective measurement configuration message to at least one of the wireless communication devices, wherein each measurement configuration message comprises an instruction that the wireless communication device should use a particular signal quality measurement method, the particular signal quality measurement method being selected from a group of available signal quality measurement methods comprising a first signal quality measurement method wherein measurements are made based on a first number of symbols and a second signal quality measurement method wherein measurements are made based on a second number of symbols. The signal quality measured may be the RSRQ or RSSI, and the symbols, OFDM symbols. Moreover, the second number of symbols may comprise all OFDM symbols, or only CRS symbols. The method further comprises receiving one or more signal quality measurement reports from respective ones of the wireless communication devices, wherein each signal quality measurement report comprises an indication of a result of signal quality measurements performed by the respective wireless communication device. In a different embodiment, a wireless device selects selecting a signal quality measurement method from a group of available signal quality measurement methods comprising a first signal quality measurement method wherein measurements are made based on a first number of symbols and a second signal quality measurement method wherein measurements are made based on a second number of symbols. The result of signal quality measurements may be used for a mobility management procedure; positioning of the wireless communication device; a cell change; a handover; minimization of drive tests (MDT); network planning; configuration and tuning of radio network parameters; self-organizing network (SON); network monitoring; interference management; determination and management of load; and inter-cell interference control. |
