Abstract

There is disclosed a method for operating a wireless device in a wireless communication network. The method comprises configuring, by the wireless device, a reporting time window for transmitting a report to the wireless communication network and determining, by the wireless device, whether data transmission from the wireless device to the wireless communication network is scheduled for a transmission time within the reporting time window, as well as transmitting the report together with the scheduled data transmission if it is determined that such is scheduled for a transmission time within the reporting time window. There are also disclosed corresponding methods and devices.

Claims (17)

1. A method for operating a wireless device in a wireless communication network, the method comprising:

configuring, by the wireless device, a reporting time window for transmitting a report to the wireless communication network;

determining, by the wireless device, whether data transmission from the wireless device to the wireless communication network is scheduled for a transmission time within the reporting time window; and

transmitting the report together with the scheduled data transmission, if it is determined that such is scheduled for a transmission time within the reporting time window.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising transmitting the report at or after the end of the reporting time window, if it is determined that no data transmission is scheduled for a transmission time within the reporting time window.

3. The method of claim 1 , the method comprising configuring a measurement time for measuring data on which the report is based on.

4. A wireless device for operation in a wireless communication network, the wireless device comprising:

radio circuitry; and

control circuitry configured to:

configure a reporting time window for transmitting a report to the wireless communication network;

determine whether a data transmission from the wireless device to the wireless communication network is scheduled for a transmission time within the reporting time window; and

transmit, via the radio circuitry, the report together with the scheduled data transmission, if it is determined that such is scheduled for a transmission time within the reporting time window.

5. The wireless device of claim 4 , wherein the control circuitry of the wireless device is further configured to transmit the report at or after the end of the reporting time window, if it is determined that no data transmission is scheduled for a transmission time within the reporting time window.

6. The wireless device of claim 4 , wherein the control circuitry of the wireless device is further configured to configure a measurement time for measuring data on which the report is based.

7. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a computer program comprising program instructions that, when executed by a processor of a wireless device that is configured for operation in a wireless communication network, configure the wireless device to:

configure a reporting time window for transmitting a report to the wireless communication network; and

determine whether a data transmission from the wireless device to the wireless communication network is scheduled for a transmission time within the reporting time window and, if so, transmit the report with the scheduled data transmission.
