Abstract

A method of handling minimization of drive tests, hereafter called MDT, measurement for a mobile device in a wireless communication system is disclosed. The method includes registering to a first public land mobile network, and maintaining MDT measurement configuration when the UE registers to a second public land mobile network belonging to an operator as the first public land mobile network is, or the UE is in coverage of the first public land mobile network but registering to no public land mobile network.

Claims (18)

1. A method of handling minimization of drive tests (MDT) measurement for a mobile device in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

collecting measurement logs according to a MDT measurement configuration from a network of the wireless communication system; and

determining the collected measurement logs as invalid by clearing the collected measurement logs when the mobile device performs a detach procedure to the network by entering a flight mode where radio transmissions are not allowed, by transmitting a DETACH REQUEST message to the network or by receiving a DETACH REQUEST message from the network.

2. A method of handling minimization of drive tests (MDT) measurement for a network in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

configuring a MDT measurement configuration to a mobile device of the wireless communication system;

invalidating the MDT measurement configuration by clearing, removing or releasing the MDT measurement configuration when the mobile device performs a detach procedure to the network and is not switched off; and

not performing the MDT measurement configuration when the mobile device performs an attach procedure after the detach procedure.

3. A mobile device of a wireless communication system for handling minimization of drive tests (MDT) measurement, the mobile device comprising:

a processing means, for executing a program; and

a storage unit, coupled to the processing means, for storing the program which instructs the processing means to perform the following steps:

configuring with a MDT measurement configuration;

invalidating the MDT measurement configuration by clearing, removing, or releasing the MDT measurement configuration when the mobile device performs a detach procedure to a network of the wireless communication system and is not switched off; and

not performing the MDT measurement configuration when the mobile device performs an attach procedure after the detach procedure.

4. The mobile device of claim 3 , where the program further instructs the processing means to perform the following step:

stopping measurement logging corresponding to the MDT measurement configuration.

5. The mobile device of claim 3 , where the program further instructs the processing means to perform the following steps:

collecting measurement logs according to the MDT measurement configuration from the network of the wireless communication system; and

determining the collected measurement logs as invalid by clearing the collected measurement logs when the mobile device performs the detach procedure to the network and is not switched off.
