Method and system for performing radio measurements in a mobile network

A mobile terminal, termed a supra-mobile, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions stored thereon, which when executed by the processor configure the supra-mobile to perform acts comprising:
• receiving and taking into account a radio measurement request message emitted by a base station of a mobile network to which the supra-mobile is attached,
• broadcasting a signal recognizable by the mobile terminals situated in the supra-mobile's neighborhood,
• receiving, from at least one mobile terminal, termed a measuring terminal, that has or have received said signal, at least one radio parameter relating to an ongoing or envisaged communication of said measuring terminal with the base station,
• compiling the radio parameters received to obtain compilations of radio parameters, termed statistics, and
• activating the supra-mobile's localization if the localization is not already activated, and sending the supra-mobile's position and said statistics to said base station.

A system for radio measurements in a mobile network, comprising:

• a mobile terminal, termed a supra-mobile, comprising:
• a first processor;
• and
• a first non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions stored thereon, which when executed by the first processor configure the supra-mobile to perform acts comprising:
• receiving and taking into account a radio measurement request message emitted by a base station of a mobile network to which the supra-mobile is attached,
• broadcasting a signal recognizable by the mobile terminals situated in the supra-mobile's neighborhood,
• receiving, from at least one mobile terminal, termed a measuring terminal, that has or have received said signal, at least one radio parameter relating to an ongoing or envisaged communication of said measuring terminal with the base station,
• compiling the radio parameters received to obtain compilations of radio parameters, termed statistics, and
• activating the supra-mobile's localization if the localization is not already activated, and sending the supra-mobile's position and said statistics to said base station;
• the at least one mobile terminal, termed a-the measuring terminal, comprising:
• a second processor;
• and
• a second non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions stored thereon, which when executed by the second processor configure the measuring terminal to perform acts comprising:
• receiving and taking into account said signal emitted by said supra-mobile,
• determining the at least one radio parameter relating to the ongoing or envisaged communication of said measuring terminal with the base station, and
• sending said radio parameter to the supra-mobile, and
• the base station of said mobile network, comprising:
• a third processor;
• and
• a third non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions stored thereon, which when executed by the third processor configure the base station to perform acts comprising:
• emitting the radio measurement request message, and
• receiving from said supra-mobile, and taking into account, the position of the supra-mobile as well as said statistics.
