Abstract
A mobile communication method includes the steps of: transmitting, from a radio base station (eNB) to a mobile station (UE), a measurement rule designation command which designates addition or deletion of a measurement rule; transmitting, from the radio base station (eNB) to the mobile station (UE), a measurement object designation command, which designates addition or deletion of a measurement object, independently from the measurement rule designation command; and transmitting, from the radio base station (eNB) to the mobile station (UE), a mapping designation command which designates associating of the measurement object with the measurement rule.
Claims9
A mobile communication method comprising the steps of:
- transmitting, from a radio base station to a mobile station, a measurement rule designation command which designates addition or deletion of a measurement rule;
- transmitting, from the radio base station to the mobile station, a measurement object designation command, which designates addition or deletion of a measurement object, independently from the measurement rule designation command;
- transmitting, from the radio base station to the mobile station, a mapping designation command which designates associating of the measurement object with the measurement rule;
- storing, at the mobile station, the measurement rule and the measurement object in association with each other, according to the mapping designation command;
- measuring, at the mobile station, a communication quality of an inter-frequency cell of a frequency defined by the stored measurement object;
- and
- transmitting, from the mobile station to the radio base station, a measurement report, when determining that a determination condition defined by the measurement rule associated with the measurement object is satisfied, on the basis of a measurement result of the communication quality.
A radio base station comprising:
- a measurement object designation command transmitter unit configured to transmit, to a mobile station, a measurement object designation command which designates addition or deletion of a measurement object defining a frequency used in a cell in which the mobile station is to measure a communication quality;
- a measurement rule designation command transmitter unit configured to transmit, to the mobile station, a measurement rule designation command, which designates addition or deletion of a measurement rule defining a determination condition for determining whether or not the mobile station is to transmit a measurement report to the radio base station, independently from the measurement object designation command;
- and
- a mapping designation command transmitter unit configured to transmit, to the mobile station, a mapping designation command which designates associating of the measurement object with the measurement rule.
