Techniques are provided to obviate unnecessarily requesting that different types of measurements are simultaneously made by a user equipment unit (30) in anticipation of a handover in a radio access network. In accordance with one aspect of the technology, in preparing a measurement request for a user equipment unit (served by a currently utilized cell) to measure on signal(s) transmitted from other cell(s) for evaluating handover potential; a network node uses at least one deployment parameter for selecting between three measurement alternatives for the measurement request. In a generic embodiment, the three measurement alternatives are: (1) performing only a first type of measurement(s); (2) performing only a second type of measurement(s): and (3) simultaneously performing both the first type and the second type of measurement(s). In a more specific example embodiment, the three measurement alternatives are: (1) performing only an inter-frequency measurement(s): (2) performing only an inter-radio access technology measurement(s); and (3) simultaneously performing both inter-frequency measurement(s) and inter-radio access technology measurement(s).
A node of a radio access network which provides a measurement request for a user equipment unit served by a currently utilized cell to measure on signal(s) transmitted from other cell(s) for evaluating handover potential, the node being arranged to use a deployment parameter to select between three measurement alternatives for the measurement request, the three measurement alternatives being:
A radio access network comprising:
A method of operating a radio access network comprising a network node and a user equipment unit served by a currently utilized cell, the method comprising:
A node of a radio access network which provides a measurement request for a user equipment unit served by a currently utilized cell to measure on signal(s) transmitted from other cell(s) for evaluating handover potential, the node being arranged to use a deployment parameter to specify in the measurement request a type of cell upon which to measure, the deployment parameter comprising at least one of the following:
A radio access network comprising:
A method of operating a radio access network comprising a network node and a user equipment unit served by a currently utilized cell, the method comprising:
