Abstract
A method performs measurements by a mobile station of a radio communication system. According to said method, the mobile station receives data via a first channel. Said mobile station temporarily interrupts the reception of the data, in order to perform measurements on at least one second channel. The interruption of the reception takes place according to a correctability of errors occurring during the data transmission via the first channel.

A method for performing measurements by a mobile station of a radio-communication system, comprising:
- receiving first data at the mobile station over a first channel, which first data is relatively difficult to reconstruct if interrupted;
- receiving second data at the mobile station over the first channel, which second data is relatively easy to reconstruct if interrupted;
- determining whether the mobile station is receiving the first data or the second data;
- temporarily interrupting reception of the first data over the first channel in order to perform measurements on a second channel;
- temporarily interrupting reception of the second data over the first channel in order to perform measurements on the second channel, the data being interrupted such that less interruption occurs to the first data than to the second data.
A method for performing measurements by a mobile station of a radio-communication system, comprising:
- receiving data at the mobile station over a first channel;
- temporarily interrupting reception of the data in order to perform measurements on a second channel;
- and
- varying interruption in reception depending on a correctability of errors occurring while data is being transmitted over the first channel.
A mobile station for a radio-communication system, comprising:
- a receiver unit to receive data over a first channel;
- an interruption unit to temporarily interrupt reception of the data;
- a measurement unit to perform measurements on at least one second channel during interruptions in reception of the data;
- and
- wherein the interruptions are varied depending on a correctability of errors occurring while data is being transmitted over the first channel.
A unit for a radio-communication system, comprising:
- an interruption unit to cause interruptions in reception by a mobile station of the radio-communication system, of data transmitted over a first channel, with said interruptions serving for the mobile station to perform measurements on at least one second channel;
- a variance unit to vary said interruptions based on a correctability of errors occurring while data is being transmitted over the first channel.
