<p>A mobile station (16) operating under any cell reselection mode in a General Packet Radio Service ("GPRS") standard generates (21) packet measurement data, receives (22) a request for the packet measurement data, and automatically sends (23) the packet measurement data to a base station (12) in response to receiving the request. The request message is generated from a maintenance center (11) that sends (31) the request to one or more base stations (12) that automatically send (32) the request to one or more mobile stations (16). When a base station (12) receives the packet measurement data from a mobile station (16), the base station (12) sends (35) the data to the maintenance center (11) where the data may be used to adjust (36) one or more wireless communication system settings.</p>
