Measurement results collecting and reporting method, involves conducting measurements by intermediate node and final destination node, and sending measurement report message to source node

摘要

The method involves sending a measurement request message from a source node to an intermediate node. The measurement request message is forwarded to a next hop node, when the intermediate node receives the measurement request message. Measurements are conducted by the intermediate node, where the intermediate node sends a measurement report message back to the source node. The measurements are conducted by a final destination node, and a measurement report message is sent to the source node. An independent claim is also included for a communication system for collecting and reporting measurement results, comprising a source node for sending a measurement request message to an intermediate node.
