Abstract

A radio terminal, which has a function to collect and report measurement information designated by a radio network, comprises: means for receiving collection/reporting control information related to the radio terminal's execution of at least one of the collection of measurement information and the reporting of the measurement information to the radio network; and control means for executing, based on the collection/reporting control information, at least one of the collection and the reporting if execution determination information, which is related to at least one of the collection of the measurement information and the reporting of the measurement information to be executed by the local terminal, satisfies a given determination criterion.

Claims (34)

1. A radio terminal having a function to collect and report measurement information to be indicated by a radio network, comprising:

receiver that receives collection/reporting control information related to execution of at least one of the collection of the measurement information and the reporting of said measurement information to the radio network by the radio terminal; and

controller that decides whether to execute at least one of said collection and said reporting based on said collection/reporting control information and a value of PLMN-ID (Public Land Mobile Network Identity) of the radio terminal.

2. The radio terminal according to claim 1 , wherein said controller decides whether to execute at least one of said collection and said reporting based on said collection/reporting control information when execution determination information including at least said value of PLMN-ID of the radio terminal related to at least one of the collection and the reporting of said measurement information by the radio terminal satisfies a predetermined determination criterion.

3. The radio terminal according to claim 2 , wherein said radio network includes at least one of a radio base station, a base station controller, a DM (Device Manager), and an NM (Network Manager).

4. The radio terminal according to claim 2 , wherein said collection/reporting control information is incorporated into configuration information and is notified from said radio network.

5. The radio terminal according to claim 1 , wherein said collection/reporting control information is incorporated into configuration information and is notified from said radio network.

6. The radio terminal according to claim 5 , wherein said radio network includes at least one of a radio base station, a base station controller, a DM (Device Manager), and an NM (Network Manager).

7. The radio terminal according to claim 1 , wherein said radio network includes at least one of a radio base station, a base station controller, a DM (Device Manager), and an NM (Network Manager).

8. A radio communication system for collecting and reporting, by a radio terminal, measurement information to be indicated by a radio network, comprising:

a notifying unit that notifies collection/reporting control information related to execution of at least one of the collection of the measurement information and the reporting of said measurement information to the radio network;

a receiver that receives said collection/reporting control information;

a controller that decides whether to execute at least one of said collection and said reporting based on said collection/reporting control information and a value of PLMN-ID (Public Land Mobile Network Identity) of the radio terminal; and

wherein the receiver receives a report of said measurement information from the radio terminal.

9. The radio communication system according to claim 8 , wherein said controller decides whether to execute at least one of said collection and said reporting based on said collection/reporting control information when execution determination information including at least said value of PLMN-ID of the radio terminal related to at least one of the collection and the reporting of said measurement information by the radio terminal satisfies a predetermined determination criterion.

10. The radio communication system according to claim 9 , wherein said notifying unit notifies configuration information including said collection/reporting control information.

11. The radio communication system according to claim 9 , wherein said radio network includes at least one of a radio base station, a base station controller, a DM (Device Manager), and an NM (Network Manager).

12. The radio communication system according to claim 8 , wherein said notifying unit notifies configuration information including said collection/reporting control information.

13. The radio communication system according to claim 12 , wherein said radio network includes at least one of a radio base station, a base station controller, a DM (Device Manager), and an NM (Network Manager).

14. The radio communication system according to claim 8 , wherein said radio network includes at least one of a radio base station, a base station controller, a DM (Device Manager), and an NM (Network Manager).

15. A radio network in a radio communication system for collecting and reporting, by a radio terminal, measurement information to be indicated by the radio network, comprising:

a notifying unit that notifies a determination criterion for determining execution of at least one of said collection and reporting by the radio terminal based on execution determination information; and

a transmitting unit that transmits a value of PLMN-ID (Public Land Mobile Network Identity) of the radio terminal.

16. The radio network according to claim 15 , wherein said controller decides whether to execute at least one of said collection and said reporting based on said collection/reporting control information when execution determination information including at least said value of PLMN-ID of the radio terminal related to at least one of the collection and the reporting of said measurement information by the radio terminal satisfies a predetermined determination criterion.

17. A radio communication method of collecting and reporting, by a radio terminal, measurement information to be indicated by a radio network, comprising:

receiving, by the radio terminal, collection/reporting control information related to execution of at least one of the collection of the measurement information and the reporting of said measurement information to the radio network; and

determining whether to execute, by the radio terminal, at least one of said collection and said reporting based on said collection/reporting control information and a value of PLMN-ID (Public Land Mobile Network Identity) of the radio terminal.

18. The radio communication method according to claim 17 , wherein said controller decides whether to execute at least one of said collection and said reporting based on said collection/reporting control information when execution determination information including at least said value of PLMN-ID of the radio terminal related to at least one of the collection and the reporting of said measurement information by the radio terminal satisfies a predetermined determination criterion.

19. A radio communication method of collecting and reporting, by a radio terminal, measurement information to be indicated by a radio network, comprising:

notifying collection/reporting control information related to execution of at least one of collection of the measurement information and reporting of said measurement information to the radio network by the radio terminal; receiving said collection/reporting control information; and

determining whether to execute at least one of said collection and said reporting based on said collection/reporting control information and a value of PLMN-ID (Public Land Mobile Network Identity) of the radio terminal.

20. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a program of a radio terminal having a function to collect and report measurement information to be indicated by a radio network, causing the radio terminal to execute the processes of

receiving collection/reporting control information related to execution of at least one of the collection of the measurement information and the reporting of said measurement information to the radio network by the radio terminal; and

determining whether to execute at least one of said collection and said reporting based on said collection/reporting control information and a value of PLMN-ID (Public Land Mobile Network Identity) of the radio terminal.
