Abstract: A method, eNB, UE and system for reducing measurement signalling in a LTE network at an eNB side are provided, including: a reported measurement result containing a physical cell identifier of a neighboring cell is received; the physical cell identifier of the neighboring cell is mapped; and the physical cell identifier of the neighboring cell is sent when determined to be unsuccessfully mapped. Another method for reducing measurement signalling in an LTE network at a UE side is also provided, including: signal strengths of a serving cell and a neighboring cell are measured, and a measurement result is reported; and when the measurement is performed again after an unsuccessfully-mapped physical cell identifier of the neighboring cell is received, a physical cell of the neighboring cell corresponding to the unsuccessfully-mapped physical cell identifier of the neighboring cell is not measured.
