METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONTROL Metering mode UE in the DRX-MODE

摘要

Systems and methods that manage measurement behavior of a UE in connected mode and while in discontinuous operation. The UE is enabled to autonomously (e.g., independent of instructions from network) enter a state of measurement, and generate a measurement report for the network, when quality of serving cell falls below the threshold of S_Intrasearch parameter. Moreover, the UE can perform inter-frequency and/or inter-RAT measurements autonomously by employing the 'natural gaps' from its DRX pattern, when such are adequate to perform such measurements.
