Method for an improved measurement handling by a user equipment in a multi-RAT and/or multi-frequency and/or single-frequency radio environment of a public land mobile network, public land mobile network

摘要

The invention relates to a method for an improved measurement handling by a user equipment in a multi-RAT and/or multi-frequency and/or single-frequency radio environment of a public land mobile network, the measurement handling being related to inter-RAT (Radio Access Technology) and/or inter-frequency and/or single-frequency radio environment measurements that are performed by the user equipment in dependency of a measurement configuration information transmitted by the public land mobile network to the user equipment, wherein the public land mobile network comprises a plurality of base station entities, -- one base station entity of the plurality of base station entities being the serving cell base station entity of the user equipment and -- at least one further base station entity of the plurality of base station entities being a neighbour cell base station entity of the serving base station entity of the user equipment, wherein a measurement activation/deactivation information is transmitted from the serving cell base station to the user equipment, the measurement activation/deactivation information being related to future inter-frequency and/or inter-RAT and/or single-frequency measurements towards the neighbour cell base station entity to be either activated or set to a non-permanent state.
