Radio communication system, radio terminal, radio network, radio communication method and program
A wireless communication system comprises: a setting notifying means for notifying, to a radio terminal, setting information related to at least one of the radio terminal's collection of measurement information and the radio terminal's reporting of the measurement information to a radio network; a status notifying means for notifying, to the radio network, a status related to at least one of the radio terminal's collection of the measurement information and the radio terminal's reporting of the measurement information; and a re-establishing means for receiving the status and determining whether to re-establish the setting information.

5. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
discarding the radio link failure related measurements after a lapse of a predetermined period from a time after the detecting the radio link failure, in the case where:
the radio terminal has received a report not required message indicating that the report of the radio link failure related measurements is not required by the radio network, or
the radio terminal has not received the report request.
6. A radio terminal comprising:
