Abstract: At least one table for mapping measured quantity values of a signal strength, which are measured by a user equipment according to a minimizing drive tests policy in a mobile communications environment, to reported values is generated by including a number n of thresholds therein which are adjustable and indicate signal strength ranges defining the reported values, wherein n is greater or equal to two. The number n and values of the thresholds are adjusted to filter the measured quantity values in the user equipment, and the minimizing drive tests policy is controlled based on the at least one table.

Abstract: There are provided measures for terminal measurement configuration in carrier aggregation, said measures exemplarily including a configuration of one or more carriers for automatic terminal measurements relating to network performance on said one or more carriers, said one or more carriers being carriers in a carrier aggregation for one or more terminals, wherein said configuration may be dependent on the one or more terminals' capabilities in terms of single- or multi-carrier terminal measurements. According to such configuration, automatic terminal measurements may be performed simultaneously on the configured one or more carriers or on the configured one or more carriers based on a predetermined priority of each carrier. Said measures may exemplarily be applied for in an MDT context.

Abstract: A method including causing a plurality of measurements to be performed by a user equipment to provide measurement information; causing a message to be sent from the user equipment to a network element indicating that measurement information is available; and responsive to a message from said network element requesting said measurement information, causing a response to be sent from the user equipment to said network with only some of said measurement information and information indicating that further measurement information is available.

Abstract: A network control element receives position information data including a trace session identification parameter, the position information data including information about the position of a mobile terminal, and measurement data including the trace session identification parameter are received. The position information data is correlated with the measurement data based on the trace session identification parameter.

Abstract: A user equipment performs measurements logging which has been defined for a scheduled area belonging to a network of a mobile communications network, the measurements including information about performance of the scheduled area. In case the user equipment connects to an area of areas of the mobile communications network which belongs to a network different from the network of the scheduled area, the user equipment prevents transmission of the logged measurements.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method, apparatus, and a computer program product for performing one or more minimizing Perform MDT drive test (MDT) measurements, defining a validity time threshold for each kind of MDT measurement, verifying, prior to reporting one of the MDT measurement results, whether the validity time threshold defined for the respective MDT measurement result to be reported, is exceeded, and, if the validity time threshold is not exceeded, reporting the MDT measurement result.

Abstract: There are disclosed measures for enhancing network performance monitoring. Such measures may for example comprise receiving a report on measurements of terminal-related network performance parameters from a terminal, acquiring information of access network-related network performance parameters, and combining the received terminal-related network performance parameters and the acquired access network-related network performance parameters into a combined network performance report.

Abstract: A network receives from a user equipment UE information about a measurement configuration used to log test measurements; and the network uses the received information to determine further signaling to send to the UE concerning further test measurements. The network can compare the received measurement configuration to a measurement configuration for the further test measurements; and if the same can merely indicate to the UE to continue using the same configuration else if different can indicate to the UE the new configuration to use for the further measurements. The UE logs the test measurements taken in the IDLE mode. After exiting the IDLE mode it sends to the network with which it connects information about the measurement configuration used to collect the measurements. The information can be sent in a RRC Connection Setup Complete message along with an availability indictor that the logged test measurements are available.
