A METHOD FOR TRANSMITTING MEASURING MESSAGES, AND A MOBILE STATION

摘要

The present invention relates to a mobile station and a method for transmitting measuring messages in a cellular radio network which comprises at least one base station (10) in each cell communicating (11) with the mobile stations (12) located in its area, and in which the mobile stations (12) measure the power level of signals received both from their own base station and the neighboring one. In order that fast measurement data transmission to the base station would be possible, the mobile station (12) compares the measured power level or a parameter calculated from it with predetermined threshold values, and if the measured power level or the parameter calculated from it reaches the predetermined threshold value, the mobile station assigns temporarily part of the capacity of the traffic channel to data transmission, and transmits data on this measurement to the base station (10) by using the traffic channel capacity.
