MEASUREMENT CONTROL OF WIRELESS COMMUNICATION DEVICES FOR CELL RANGE EXTENSION

摘要

A method for selecting wireless communication devices formeasurement configuration in a wireless communication network (1)comprises a step of obtaining (S10) at least one report on signal strengthand/orsignal quality from a wireless communication device (20) in the wirelesscommunication network (1). The method further comprises a step ofdetermining (S20) whether or not to select the wireless communication device(20)for measurement configuration, where the measurement configurationcomprises configuring the wireless communication device (20) to providemeasurement reports on received power from serving cells and neighbour cellsinthe wireless communication network (1), and where the step of determining(S20) is based on the at least one obtained report on signal strength and/orsignal quality.
