METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR OPTIMIZATION OF MEASUREMENT REPORTING IN WIRELESS NETWORKS

摘要

A method and system for gathering measurements associated with wireless signals from a mobile terminal to a base station in a wireless communication system is presented. The method is performed by a radio environment map controller and includes: configuring one or more mobile terminals to make measurements of the radio environment; configuring the mobile terminals to construct a minimization of drive test report from the measurements; obtaining information related to mobile terminals; directing the mobile terminals to transmit the report; directing each of the mobile terminals to use a particular network connection to transmit the report; and storing the report in a layered radio environment map. The particular network connection is selected based in part on the information related to the mobile terminals such that power consumption in each of the mobile terminals is minimized.
