A communication device 3 provides measurement reports to a communication network, the reports relating to a relay cell. The communication device connects to a cell of the network and receives configuration data S403 for at least one relay specific trigger event for triggering measurement reporting for at least one relay cell operated by a relay device for the base station 5. The communication device performs measurements and sends a measurement report to the communication network when the trigger event has occurred S413. The relay cell may comprise a candidate cell for potential handover S415, S417. In another embodiment the base station obtains information indicating that at least one mobile communication device is operating as a relay device and then maintains this information. The information is used to generate the configuration data S401 for configuring measurements for each relay cell. |
