Method for Processing Measurement Control Messages and Mobile Radio Communications Terminal

A method for processing measurement control messages, carried out by a mobile radio communications terminal, the method comprising:

• carrying out a check, after reception of a first measurement control message, to determine whether a criterion which is predetermined for production of a measurement report message, according to the first measurement control message, is satisfied for at least one mobile radio cell;
• when the criterion is satisfied for at least one mobile radio cell, storing at least one statement relating to the mobile radio cell;
• and
• in response to reception of a second measurement control message, by means of which a measurement instruction change is instructed for at least one of the mobile radio cells, deleting or amending at least one of the stored statements relating to the mobile radio cells as a function of the second measurement control message.

A mobile radio communications terminal, comprising:

• a receiver configured to receive measurement control messages;
• a test unit configured to, after reception of a first measurement control message, check whether a criterion which is predetermined for production of a measurement report message, according to the first measurement control message, is satisfied for at least one mobile radio cell and, when the criterion is satisfied for at least one mobile radio cell, store at least one statement relating to the mobile radio cell;
• a memory configured to store the at least one statement relating to the mobile radio cell;
• and
• a processing unit configured to, in response to the reception of a second measurement control message by means of which a measurement instruction change is instructed for at least one of the mobile radio cells, delete at least one of the stored statements relating to the mobile radio cells, as a function of the second measurement control message.
