Early radio measurement relaxation reporting

A wireless device comprising:

• processing circuitry;
• and
• memory coupled with the processing circuitry, wherein the memory includes instructions that when executed by the processing circuitry cause the wireless device to perform operations to:
• switch the wireless device from an INACTIVE or IDLE state to an ACTIVE state;
• after switching to the ACTIVE state, determine by the wireless device whether a fulfillment or unfulfillment condition for radio measurement relaxation has been persistently met for at least a time-to-trigger (TTT) period, wherein the TTT period at least partially includes a time period during which the wireless device was in the INACTIVE or IDLE state;
• after switching to the ACTIVE state, starting a timer having a timer duration;
• and
• in response to determining that the fulfillment or unfulfillment condition has been met for the TTT period, transmit a radio measurement relaxation report from the wireless device to a radio access network (RAN) node indicating that the fulfillment or unfulfillment condition has been met, wherein the radio measurement relaxation report is sent after expiration of the timer.

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory storage medium including program code to be executed by processing circuitry of a wireless device, whereby execution of the program code causes the wireless device to perform operations to:

• switch the wireless device from INACTIVE or IDLE state to an ACTIVE state;
• after switching to the ACTIVE state, determine by the wireless device whether a fulfillment or unfulfillment condition for radio measurement relaxation has been persistently met for at least a time-to-trigger (TTT) period, wherein the TTT period at least partially includes a time period during which the wireless device was in the INACTIVE or IDLE state;
• after switching to the ACTIVE state, starting a timer having a timer duration;
• and
• in response to determining that the fulfillment or unfulfillment condition has been met for the TTT period, transmit a radio measurement relaxation report from the wireless device to a radio access network (RAN) node indicating that the fulfillment or unfulfillment condition has been met, wherein the radio measurement relaxation report is sent after expiration of the timer.
