When a mobile terminal (12) first switches over from the idle mode (powered on and waiting to set up for a call) to the active mode (call connected), it starts sending measurement information to the network as soon as a dedicated traffic channel is assigned. In the preferred embodiment, the first measurement report is transferred to the network during the first available slow associated control channel period. That first report to the network contains data that the mobile terminal (12) obtained while it was waiting in the idle mode. During subsequent slow associated control channel periods, the mobile terminal (12) transfers measurement information to the network based on the data obtained in the active mode. |
