Abstract
The present invention relates to an improved predicting of target carrier radio conditions in a communication network. The improved prediction is achieved by acquiring, by a first network node, measurement data based on radio signals at a source carrier and a first target carrier. Subsequently, a target carrier radio condition prediction function is identified by the first network node or a second network node.
Claims23
A method for predicting a target carrier radio condition in a communication network, comprising the steps of:
- acquiring, by a first network node, measurement data based on radio signals at a source carrier and a first target carrier;
- and
- identifying, by the first network node or a second network node, a target carrier radio condition prediction function using the acquired measurement data.
-17. (canceled)
A network node, comprising:
- a communication module configured for acquiring measurement data based on radio signals at a source carrier and a target carrier;
- and
- a training module configured for identifying a target carrier radio condition prediction function using the acquired measurement data.
19-24. (canceled)
A mobile terminal, comprising:
- a communication module configured for
- receiving an identified target carrier radio condition prediction function and/or an event triggering criterion;
- and
- acquiring source carrier measurement data associated to the mobile terminal;
- a prediction module configured for predicting a target carrier radio condition by using the identified target carrier radio condition prediction function and the acquired source carrier measurement data.
-31. (canceled)
A method of operating a mobile terminal comprising:
- receiving an identified target carrier radio condition prediction function and/or an event triggering criterion;
- acquiring source carrier measurement data associated to the mobile terminal;
- and
- predicting a target carrier radio condition by using the identified target carrier radio condition prediction function and the acquired source carrier measurement data.
