Method and apparatus for collecting and reporting cell measurement information in mobile communication system
The disclosure relates to a method and apparatus for collecting and reporting cell measurement information in a mobile communication system. According to an embodiment, the method, performed by a user equipment (UE), of reporting cell measurement information in a mobile communication system includes: transmitting UE capability information about whether to support a minimization of drive test (MDT) operation to a first base station of a first mobile communication system; receiving MDT configuration information from at least one base station of the first base station or a second base station of a second mobile communication system which is different from the first mobile communication system; collecting MDT measurement information based on the MDT configuration information; and transmitting the MDT measurement information to the at least one base station of the first base station or the second base station, wherein the first base station and the second base station support dual connectivity.
1. A method performed by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
receiving, from a base station, logged minimization of drive test (MDT) configuration information including a logging duration and an event for triggering a logging of measurement information;
starting a timer with a timer value set to the logging duration;
while the timer is running, in case that the event for triggering the logging is configured to an out-of-service area (OOS) and the UE is in any cell selection state, initiating the logging of the measurement information, based on the logged MDT configuration information, wherein the measurement information is logged only one time in the logging duration which is greater than 0, and wherein the UE is in a radio resource control (RRC) inactive mode; and
transmitting, to the base station, information related to the measurement information.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the OOS is associated with the UE in the any cell selection state.
3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
in case that the event for triggering the logging is associated with a measurement result of a serving cell and the measurement result is less than a threshold, initiating the logging the measurement information, based on the logged MDT configuration information.
4. The method of claim 3 , wherein in case that a logging interval is configured, the measurement information is logged periodically, based on the logging interval.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the logged MDT configuration information further includes a trace reference, a trace recording session reference, internet protocol (IP) address of a trace collection entity (TCE) server and absolute time information.
6. A user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:
a transceiver; and
at least one processor coupled with the transceiver and configured to:
receive, from a base station, via the transceiver, logged minimization of drive test (MDT) configuration information including a logging duration and an event for triggering a logging of measurement information;
start a timer with a timer value set to the logging duration;
while the timer is running, in case that the event for triggering the logging is configured to an out-of-service area (OOS) and the UE is in any cell selection state, initiate the logging of the measurement information, based on the logged MDT configuration information, wherein the measurement information is logged only one time in the logging duration which is greater than 0, and wherein the UE is in a radio resource control (RRC) inactive mode; and
transmit, to the base station via the transceiver, information related to the measurement information.
7. The UE of claim 6 , wherein the OOS is associated with the UE in the any cell selection state.
8. The UE of claim 6 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:
in case that the event for triggering the logging is associated with a measurement result of a serving cell and the measurement result is less than a threshold, initiating the logging of the measurement information, based on logged MDT configuration information.
9. The UE of claim 8 , wherein in case that a logging interval is configured, the measurement information is logged periodically, based on the logging interval.
10. The UE of claim 6 , wherein the logged MDT configuration information further includes a trace reference, a trace recording session reference, internet protocol (IP) address of trace collection entity (TCE) server and absolute time information.
