A ROBUST AND EFFICIENT METHOD FOR SMOOTHING MEASUREMENT RESULTS

摘要

A method for smoothing measurement results, the method comprising steps of selecting the measurement results used for smoothing (401), giving a finite weight factor for each of said measurement results (403), and selecting the sample size used in the smoothing. Samples (405) are taken from the measurement results, of which each sample contains a number of measurement results, the number being determined by said sample size, and on the basis of each said sample a parameter representing the sample (407) is calculated. The method is characterised in that said weight factors are used in the calculation of said parameter, and said parameter representing the sample is selected so that it is a measure of the center of the sample and so that the value of its breaking point is substantially different from zero. The invention also relates to a network element of a radio access network and to a mobile station.
