Abstract

Provided are a method for a terminal for reporting a measurement result in a wireless communication system, and an apparatus supporting the method. The method may comprise the steps of: receiving a measurement configuration comprising a measurement object and reporting configuration, the reporting configuration comprising a first measurement reporting triggering condition to be applied to a first wireless local area network (WLAN) not included in the measurement object; determining that measurement reporting for the first WLAN not included in the measurement object is permitted; measuring the first WLAN not included in the measurement object; and, if the measurement result for the first WLAN satisfies the first measurement reporting triggering condition, then reporting the measurement result for the first WLAN not included in the measurement object.

Claims (35)

1. A method in which a terminal reports a measurement result in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving a measurement configuration comprising a measurement object and a reporting configuration,

wherein the measurement object does not comprise a first wireless local area network (WLAN),

wherein the measurement object comprises a second WLAN, and

wherein the reporting configuration comprises a first measurement report triggering condition to be applied to i) the first WLAN not comprised in the measurement object and ii) the second WLAN comprised in the measurement object;

determining that measurement reporting for the first WLAN not comprised in the measurement object is allowed, based on the first measurement report triggering condition comprised in the reporting configuration;

measuring the first WLAN not comprised in the measurement object and the second WLAN comprised in the measurement object; and

reporting a measurement result for the first WLAN not comprised in the measurement object, based on the measurement result for the first WLAN satisfying the first measurement report triggering condition.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the reporting configuration comprises a second measurement report triggering condition that applies to the second WLAN comprised in the measurement object.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:

performing a measurement on the second WLAN comprised in the measurement object, based on the second measurement report triggering condition comprised in the reporting configuration.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the reporting configuration comprises a measurement report allowing indicator informing the terminal whether measurement reporting for the first WLAN not comprised in the measurement object is allowed.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein based on the measurement report allowing indicator which informs the terminal that measurement reporting for the first WLAN not comprised in the measurement object is allowed, determining that measurement reporting for the first WLAN not comprised in the measurement object is allowed.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first measurement report triggering condition is satisfied based on a value obtained by applying a hysteresis to the measurement result for the first WLAN which is greater than a predefined threshold.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

stopping the reporting of the measurement result for the first WLAN not comprised in the measurement object, based on the measurement result for the first WLAN not satisfying the first measurement report triggering condition.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the first measurement report triggering condition is not satisfied based on a value obtained by applying a hysteresis to the measurement result for the first WLAN which is less than a predefined threshold.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first measurement report triggering condition is a condition to be applied for the first WLAN not comprised in the measurement object irrespective of whether a WLAN mobility set comprises a WLAN ID.

10. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

reporting a measurement result for the second WLAN comprised in the measurement object, based on the measurement result for the second WALN satisfying the first measurement report triggering condition.

11. A terminal for reporting a measurement result in a wireless communication system, the terminal comprising:

a memory; a transceiver; and a processor operatively coupling the memory and the transceiver, wherein the processor is configured to:

control the transceiver to receive a measurement configuration comprising a measurement object and a reporting configuration,

wherein the measurement object does not comprise a first wireless local area network (WLAN),

wherein the measurement object comprises a second WLAN, and

wherein the reporting configuration comprises a first measurement report triggering condition to be applied to i) the first WLAN not comprised in the measurement object and ii) the second WLAN comprised in the measurement object;

determine that measurement reporting for a first wireless local area network (WLAN) not comprised in the measurement object is allowed, based on the first measurement report triggering condition comprised in the reporting configuration;

measure the first WLAN not comprised in the measurement object and the second WLAN comprised in the measurement object; and

control the transceiver to report a measurement result for the first WLAN not comprised in the measurement object, based on the measurement result for the first WALN satisfying the first measurement report triggering condition.

12. The terminal of claim 11 , wherein the reporting configuration comprises a second measurement report triggering condition that applies to the second WLAN comprised in the measurement object.

13. The terminal of claim 12 , wherein the processor is further configured to perform a measurement on the second WLAN comprised in the measurement object, based on the second measurement report triggering condition comprised in the reporting configuration.

14. The terminal of claim 11 , wherein the reporting configuration comprises a measurement report allowing indicator informing the terminal whether measurement reporting for the first WLAN not comprised in the measurement object is allowed.

15. The terminal of claim 11 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

control the transceiver to report a measurement result for the second WLAN comprised in the measurement object, based on the measurement result for the second WALN satisfying the first measurement

report triggering condition.
