System and method for controlling a report about link status monitoring result acquired by mobile station and transmitted to a base station
A radio measurement collection method in one embodiment is provided with: a step (S 142 ) wherein, in an idle state, radio-environment measurement is performed on a target LTE frequency band in accordance with measurement parameters set by an LTE base station (eNB); a step (S 143 ) wherein, in an idle state, radio-environment measurement is performed on a frequency band for a non-LTE radio access technology and/or an LTE frequency band other than the target frequency band; and a step (S 146 ) wherein, if the result of the measurement in step S 142 is less than a threshold, the result of the measurement in step S 142 and the result of the measurement in step S 143 are both logged together with location information.
1. A radio measurement collection method performed by a radio terminal, comprising the steps of:
receiving, from a radio base station of a first radio access technology, a Minimization of Drive Test (MDT) configuration specific to the first radio access technology;
in an idle state, performing radio environment measurement in accordance with the MDT configuration, wherein the radio terminal performs second measurement for a second radio access technology as well as first measurement for the first radio access technology even when the MDT configuration only configures the first measurement for the first radio access technology;
in the idle state, logging measurement results of the radio environment measurement together with location information, wherein the radio terminal logs a second measurement result for the second radio access technology as well as a first measurement result for the first radio access technology so as to perform a report to a network; and
transmitting the first measurement result and the second measurement result to the network, the second measurement result including information of frequency at which the second measurement is performed.
2. The radio measurement collection method according to claim 1 , further comprising a step of transmitting, from the radio terminal to a radio base station of the first radio access technology, notification information indicating that the radio terminal has the measurement results, when the radio terminal is transitioned from the idle state to a connected state.
3. A radio terminal comprising:
a receiver that receives, from a radio base station of a first radio access technology, a Minimization of Drive Test (MDT) configuration specific to the first radio access technology;
a controller that, in an idle state,
performs radio environment measurement in accordance with the MDT configuration, wherein the controller performs second measurement for a second radio access technology as well as first measurement for the first radio access technology, even when the MDT configuration only configures the measurement for the first radio access technology; and
logs measurement results of the controller together with location information, wherein the controller logs a second measurement result for the second radio access technology as well as a first measurement result for the first radio access technology so as to perform a report to a network; and
a transmitter that transmits the first measurement result and the second measurement result to the network, the second measurement result including information of frequency at which the second measurement is performed.
4. A processor for controlling a radio terminal, configured to:
receive, from a radio base station of a first radio access technology, a Minimization of Drive Test (MDT) configuration specific to the first radio access technology;
in an idle state, perform radio environment measurement in accordance with the MDT configuration, wherein the processor performs second measurement for a second radio access technology as well as first measurement for the first radio access technology, even when the MDT configuration only configures the measurement for the first radio access technology;
in the idle state, log measurement results of the radio environment measurement together with location information, wherein the processor logs a second measurement result for the second radio access technology as well as a first measurement result for the first radio access technology so as to perform a report to a network; and
transmit the first measurement result and the second measurement result to the network, the second measurement result including information of frequency at which the second measurement is performed.
