MINIMIZING DRIVE TESTS MEASUREMENTS CONFIGURATION FOR SIGNAL STRENGTH REPORTING IN MOBILE COMMUNICATIONS ENVIRONMENTS

摘要

At least one table for mapping measured quantity values of a signal strength, which are measured by a user equipment according to a minimizing drive tests policy in a mobile communications environment, to reported values is generated by including a number n of thresholds therein which are adjustable and indicate signal strength ranges defining the reported values, wherein n is greater or equal to two. The number n and values of the thresholds are adjusted to filter the measured quantity values in the user equipment, and the minimizing drive tests policy is controlled based on the at least one table.
