Abstract

A method performed by a wireless device comprises receiving, from a network node in a wireless communication network, signaling that indicates one or more report triggering measurement objects and one or more report content measurement objects. The one or more report triggering measurement objects are one or more objects of measurements whose results are to be evaluated by the wireless device for determining whether to log or send a measurement report. The one or more report content measurement objects are one or more objects of measurements whose results are to be reported by the measurement report. The signaling is configurable to indicate at least one report content measurement object that is different from each of the one or more report triggering measurement objects indicated by the signaling.

Claims (66)

wherein the signaling is configurable to indicate at least one report triggering measurement object that is different from each of the one or more report content measurement objects indicated by the signaling, such that results of first measurements on the at least one report triggering measurement object are not to be reported by the measurement report, and

wherein each of the one or more report triggering measurement objects, and each of the one or more report content measurement objects, is a single carrier frequency, a set of one or more carrier frequencies, a set of one or more cells, a set of one or more network identifiers, or a set of one or more transmission resource pools.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the signaling indicates at least one report triggering measurement object that is different from each of the one or more report content measurement objects indicated by the signaling, and wherein the method further comprises:

performing the first measurements on the one or more report triggering measurement objects;

based on results of the first measurements performed on the one or more report triggering measurement objects, evaluating whether or not to log or send a measurement report that reports at least results of the second measurements performed on the one or more report content measurement objects, but that does not report results of the first measurements performed on the at least one report triggering measurement object that is different from each of the one or more report content measurement objects; and

logging or sending the measurement report, or refraining from logging or sending the measurement report, depending on said evaluating.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein at least one report content measurement object indicated by the signaling is different from each of the one or more report triggering measurement objects indicated by the signaling and at least one report triggering is different from each of the one or more report content measurement objects indicated by the signaling.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the signaling includes a report triggering measurement object information element that indicates the one or more report triggering measurement objects and includes a report content measurement object information element that indicates the one or more report content measurement objects.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the signaling indicates:

one or more report triggering criterions that the wireless device is to evaluate using the results of the first measurements on the one or more report triggering measurement objects; and

one or more quantities to be reported by the measurement report as the results of the first measurements on the one or more report content measurement objects.

6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the signaling includes a report triggering configuration information element that indicates the one or more report triggering criterions, and includes a report content configuration information element that indicates the one or more quantities.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the one or more report triggering measurement objects is associated with multiple report triggering criterions, wherein different ones of the multiple report triggering criterions represent different respective ranges of a certain measurement quantity.

8 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the signaling indicates different measurement identities associated with different ones of the multiple report triggering criterions.

9 . The method of claim 2 , wherein at least one report content measurement object indicated by the signaling is different from each of the one or more report triggering measurement objects indicated by the signaling, wherein the method further comprises:

performing the second measurements on the one or more report content measurement objects; and

based on logging or sending of the measurement report being triggered by the results of the first measurements performed on the one or more report triggering measurement objects according to said evaluating, logging or sending the measurement report with the measurement report reporting results of the second measurements performed on the one or more report content measurement objects, but with the measurement report not reporting results of the first measurements performed on the at least one report triggering measurement object that is different from each of the one or more report content measurement objects.

10 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the signaling indicates at least one report triggering measurement object that is different from each of the one or more report content measurement objects indicated by the signaling, and wherein the method further comprises, based on logging or sending of the measurement report being triggered by results of the first measurements performed on the one or more report triggering measurement objects indicated by the signaling, logging or sending a measurement report that:

reports results of the second measurements performed on the one or more report content measurement objects; and

does not report results of the first measurements performed on the at least one report triggering measurement object that is different from each of the one or more report content measurement objects.

11 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the each report content measurement object is different from each of the one or more report triggering measurement objects indicated by the signaling, and each report triggering measurement object is different from each of the one or more report content measurement objects indicated by the signaling.

12 . A method performed by a network node configured for use in a wireless communication network, the method comprising:

transmitting, to a wireless device, signaling that indicates one or more report triggering measurement objects and one or more report content measurement objects,

13 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the signaling indicates at least one report triggering measurement object that is different from each of the one or more report content measurement objects indicated by the signaling, and wherein the method further comprises, and wherein the method further comprises receiving the measurement report from the wireless device, wherein the measurement report reports at least results of the second measurements performed on the one or more report content measurement objects, but does not report results of the first measurements performed on the at least one report triggering measurement object that is different from each of the one or more report content measurement objects.

14 . The method of claim 13 , further comprising training, based on the received measurement report, a model that models a relation between one or more radio characteristics on the one or more report content measurement objects and one or more radio characteristics on the one or more report triggering measurement objects.
