Abstract

A user equipment for a mobile telecommunications network has a circuitry which is configured to: receive a signal from an entity of a mobile telecommunications network, thereby determining identity information about the determined entity; and transmit the identity information to the mobile telecommunications network for interferences analysis.

Claims (37)

1. A user equipment for a mobile telecommunications network, the user equipment comprising:

circuitry configured to:

receive a signal from a device of the mobile telecommunications network;

determine identity information of the device from the signal;

transmit the identity information to a base station of the mobile telecommunications network for interferences analysis;

perform a minimization of drive test (MDT) to measure a quality of the signal; and

transmit, in a separate transmission from the identity information, quality information indicating the quality of the signal to the base station, wherein

in a case that the device is an interfering device operating in wireless local area network (WLAN) and the circuitry detects a beacon of the WLAN, the circuitry transmits the identity information indicating a type of the interference device to the base station.

2. The user equipment of claim 1 , wherein the quality information about the quality of the received signal includes at least one of a Received Signal Strength Indicator, a Channel Quality Indicator, a Reference Signal Received Power, and a Reference Signal Received Quality.

3. The user equipment of claim 1 , wherein the identity information is identity information about a mobile base station.

4. The user equipment of claim 1 ; wherein the identity information is identity information about a mobile Transmission-Reception Point.

5. The user equipment of claim 1 , wherein the signal is an uplink reference signal in a Physical Random Access Channel from the device.

6. A user equipment for a mobile telecommunications network, the user equipment comprising:

circuitry configured to:

receive a signal from a device of the mobile telecommunications network;

determine beam information from the signal, the beam information identifying a beam emitted by the device;

transmit the beam information to a base station of the mobile telecommunications network for interferences analysis;

perform a minimization of drive test (MDT) to measure a quality of the signal;

transmit, in a separate transmission from the beam information; quality information indicating the quality of the signal to the base station; and

in a case that the device is an interfering device operating in wireless local area network (WAN) and the circuitry detects a beacon of the WLAN, transmit identity information indicating a type of the interference device to the base station.

7. The user equipment of claim 6 , wherein the quality information about the quality of the received signal includes at least one of a Received Signal Strength Indicator, a Channel Quality Indicator, a Reference Signal Received Power, and a Reference Signal Received Quality.

8. The user equipment of claim 6 , wherein the beam information includes identity information about a mobile base station.

9. The user equipment of claim 6 , wherein the beam information includes identity information about a mobile Transmission-Reception Point.

10. The user equipment of claim 6 , wherein the signal is an uplink reference signal in a Physical Random Access Channel from the device.

11. A user equipment for a mobile telecommunications network, the user equipment comprising:

circuitry configured to:

receive a signal from a device, the signal based on a first Radio Access Technology (RAT) that differs from a second RAT of the mobile telecommunications network;

determine RAT information from the signal, the RAT information indicating information of the first RAT of the device;

transmit the RAT information to a base station of the mobile telecommunications network for interferences analysis;

perform a minimization of drive test (MDT) to measure a quality of the signal; and

transmit, in a separate transmission from the identity information, quality information indicating the quality of the signal to the base station, wherein

in a case that the device is an interfering device operating in wireless local area network (WLAN) and the circuitry detects a beacon of the WLAN, the circuitry transmits the identity information indicating a type of the interference device to the base station.

12. The user equipment of claim 11 , wherein the quality information about the quality of the received signal includes at least one of a Received Signal Strength Indicator, a Channel Quality Indicator, a Reference Signal Received Power, and a Reference Signal Received Quality.

13. The user equipment of claim 11 , wherein the RAT information includes identity information about a mobile base station.

14. The user equipment of claim 11 , wherein the RAT information includes identity information about a wireless network other than the mobile telecommunications network.

15. The user equipment of claim 11 , wherein the RAT information includes identity information about a mobile Transmission-Reception Point.

16. The user equipment of claim 11 , wherein the signal is an uplink reference signal in a Physical Random Access Channel from the device.
