Abstract
A user communications device having active and idle states operates in a cellular communications network in which user communications devices communicate via network communications devices of cells of the network. History data identifying the cells in which the user communications device has been present whilst in the idle state is maintained. This history data is used by the user communications device or by a network communications device to enable adjustment of cell selection/reselection parameters for the user communications device in the active state.

1-68. (canceled)
A method performed by a user communications device which communicates with a network communications apparatus, the method comprising:
- receiving, from the network communications apparatus, an instruction to perform measurement;
- performing the measurement;
- and
- providing, to the network communications apparatus, a measurement,
- wherein the measurement result comprises location information of the user communications device while the user communications device is in the idle state and information which is related to at least one of cell selection and cell reselection.
A user communications device which communicates with a network communications apparatus, user communications device comprising:
- a transceiver circuit configured to receive, from the network communications apparatus, an instruction to perform measurement;
- and
- a processor configured to perform the measurement;
- where in the processor is further configured to provide, to the network communications apparatus, a measurement result,
- wherein the measurement result comprises location information of the user communications device while the user communications device is in the idle state and information which is related to at least one of cell selection and cell reselection.
A method performed by a network communications apparatus which communicates with a user communications device, the method comprising:
- transmitting, to the user communications device, an instruction to perform measurement;
- and
- receiving, from the user communications device, a measurement result,
- wherein the measurement result comprises location information of the user communications device while the user communications device is in the idle state and information which is related to at least one of cell selection and cell reselection.
A network communications apparatus which communicates with a user communications device, the network communications apparatus comprising:
- a transceiver circuit configured to transmit, to the user communications device, an instruction to perform measurement,
- wherein the transceiver circuit is further configured to receive, from the user communications device, a measurement result,
- wherein the measurement result comprises location information of the user communications device while the user communications device is in the idle state and information which is related to at least one of cell selection and cell reselection.
