US 2016/0080959 A1 · METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TRANSMITTING/RECEIVING MDT MEASUREMENT INFORMATION IN MOBILE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for performing operations of an eNB and a UE to effectively use a minimization of drive test (MDT) technology in a mobile communication system. The present invention provides a method for transmitting/receiving MDT measurement information of an eNB in a mobile communication system, the method comprising the steps of: configuring an MDT in a UE; collecting MDT measurement information from the UE; determining whether enhanced inter-cell interference coordination (eICIC) is configured in the UE in which the MDT is configured, and, when the eICIC is configured in the UE, reporting indication information indicating that the MDT measurement information is affected by the eICIC together with the MDT measurement information.

Dependent claims

A method for transmitting and receiving, by a base station, Minimization of Drive Test (MDT) measurement information in a mobile communication system, the method comprising:

setting an MDT to a UE;
collecting the MDT measurement information from the UE;
determining whether an enhanced Inter-Cell Interference Coordination (eICIC) technology is set to the UE having the MDT set therein;
and
when the enhanced Inter-Cell Interference Coordination technology is set to the UE, reporting the indication information indicating that the MDT measurement information was affected by the enhanced Inter-Cell Interference Coordination technology, along with the MDT measurement information.

2 more elements

A base station that transmits and receives MDT (Minimization of Drive Test) measurement information in a mobile communication system, the base station comprising:

a transmission/reception unit that performs data communication between a UE and a server;
and
a controller that sets an MDT to the UE, controls the transmission/reception unit so as to receive MDT measurement information transmitted from the UE, determines whether an enhanced Inter-Cell Interference Coordination (eICIC) is set to the UE having the MDT set therein, and when the enhanced Inter-Cell Interference Coordination technology is set to the UE, controls so as to report, to the server, the indication information indicating that the MDT measurement information was affected by the enhanced Inter-Cell Interference Coordination technology along with the MDT measurement information.
