  • Publication number: 20240031041
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method performed by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system. The method may include receiving, from a base station (BS), configuration information associated with a logged minimization of driving test (MDT), and performing measurement logging in a plurality of logging intervals, based on the configuration information when the UE transitions to an idle state or an inactive state. The performing of the measurement logging may include, when reportType is set to eventTriggered, detecting whether an in-device coexistence (IDC) problem has occurred in a last logging interval from among the plurality of logging intervals while the measurement logging is performed, and when it is detected that the IDC problem has occurred, logging a flag indicating the occurrence of the IDC problem.
