Abstract
A method and a network device for transferring signaling based immediate Minimization of Drive Test (MDT) configuration information are provided. The method is applied in an inter-Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) handover process in a scenario of multiple PLMNs, and includes: during a handover process of a user equipment, if it is determined that a target PLMN selected for the user equipment is the same as one PLMN in an MDT-allowable PLMN list of the user equipment, a source network device transmitting the immediate MDT configuration information of the user equipment to a target network device.

A method for transferring signaling based immediate Minimization of Drive Test (MDT) configuration information, applied in an inter-Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) handover process in a scenario of multiple PLMNs, comprising:
- during a handover process of a user equipment, if it is determined that a target PLMN selected for the user equipment is the same as one PLMN in an MDT-allowable PLMN list of the user equipment, a source network device transmitting the immediate MDT configuration information of the user equipment to a target network device.
A network device for transferring signaling based immediate Minimization of Drive Test (MDT) configuration information, applied in an inter-Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) handover process in a scenario of multiple PLMNs, the network device, when serving as a source network device, comprising:
- a determination unit, configured to determine whether a target PLMN selected by the present device for a user equipment is the same as one PLMN in an MDT-allowable PLMN list of the user equipment during a handover process of the user equipment;
- a transmission unit, configured to transmit the immediate MDT configuration information of the user equipment to a target network device when it is determined by the determination unit that the target PLMN is the same as one PLMN in an MDT PLMN list of the user equipment.
