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.
1. A method for a radio terminal communicating with a radio network, the method comprising:
detecting radio link failure;
storing radio link failure related information that includes:
(a) measurement results related to the radio link failure, and
(b) location information; and
transmitting to the radio network, without reception by the radio terminal of a report request for requesting a report of the radio link failure related information, radio link failure status information indicating that the radio terminal has the radio link failure related information, wherein the radio link failure status information does not include the radio link failure related information.
2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
transmitting the report of the radio link failure related information, from the radio terminal to the radio network, if the radio terminal receives the report request for requesting the report of the radio link failure related information and the radio terminal has the radio link failure related information.
3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the measurement results related to the radio link failure comprises at least one of:
Reference Signals Received Power (RSRP) of a cell in which the radio link failure was detected, and
Reference Signals Received Quality (RSRQ) of the cell in which the radio link failure was detected.
4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the transmitting the radio link failure status information comprises transmitting a Radio Resource Control (RRC) message comprising the radio link failure status information, wherein the RRC message does not include any radio link failure related information.
5. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
discarding the radio link failure related information after a lapse of a predetermined period from a time after the detecting the radio link failure, if the radio terminal does not receive the report request for requesting the report of the radio link failure related information.
6. A radio terminal that communicates with a radio network, the radio terminal comprising:
a transceiver; and,
at least one processor configured to:
detect radio link failure;
store radio link failure related information that includes:
(a) measurement results related to the radio link failure, and
(b) location information; and
control the transceiver to transmit, to the radio network, without reception by the radio terminal of a report request for requesting a report of the radio link failure related information, radio link failure status information indicating that the radio terminal has radio link failure related information, wherein the radio link failure status information does not include the radio link failure related information.
7. The radio terminal according to claim 6 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:
transmit the report of the radio link failure related information from the radio terminal to the radio network, if the radio terminal receives the report request for requesting the report of the radio link failure related information and the radio terminal has the radio link failure related information.
8. The radio terminal according to claim 6 , wherein the measurement results related to the radio link failure comprises at least one of:
Reference Signals Received Power (RSRP) of a cell in which the radio link failure was detected, and
Reference Signals Received Quality (RSRQ) of the cell in which the radio link failure was detected.
9. The radio terminal according to claim 6 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to transmit the radio link failure status information in a Radio Resource Control (RRC) message comprising the radio link failure status information, wherein the RRC message does not include any radio link related information.
10. The radio terminal according to claim 6 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to discard the radio link failure related information after a lapse of a predetermined period after the radio link failure is detected, if the radio terminal does not receive the report request for requesting the report of the radio link failure related information.
11. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving the report request for requesting a report of the radio link failure related information after the transmitting the radio link failure status information, and
transmitting the report of the radio link failure related information after the receiving the report request.
12. The radio terminal according to claim 6 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:
control the transceiver to receive the report request for requesting a report of the radio link failure related information after transmission of the radio link failure status information; and
transmit the report of the radio link failure related information after receipt of the report request.
