MULTI-RAT-MEASUREMENT REPORTING

摘要

The present document relates to digital cellular telecommunications systems, such as GSM (Global System for Mobile communication) networks. In particular, the present document relates to the radio sub-system link control implemented in the Mobile Station (MS), Base Station System (BSS) and/or Mobile Switching Centre (MSC) of such digital cellular telecommunications systems. A method (200) for preparing a measurement report on neighbour resources of a multi-RAT mobile station (100) is described. The MS (100) supports a plurality of radio access technologies (RATs). The method (200) comprises receiving (201) a plurality of RAT resource reporting values, each RAT resource reporting value indicating a number of resources of the corresponding RAT to be included into the measurement report; determining (205) a plurality of lists of valid neighbour resources associated with the plurality of RATs; and including (208) resources from the plurality of lists of valid neighbour resources into the measurement report according to a RAT sequence of the plurality of RATs, wherein a second resource of the given RAT is included into the report, subject to including a first resource into the measurement report, for each of the plurality of RATs for which the RAT resource reporting value is greater than zero.
