System and method for determining air interface information for radio resource management in wireless communications

A method for determining values for use by radio resource management functions, comprising:

• obtaining air interface actual values and predictive values;
• storing the actual values and the predictive values;
• generating and storing a timestamp indicating a time when each actual value or predictive value is obtained;
• and
• processing the actual values and the predictive values to provide an output value, wherein the output value includes any one of:
• an actual value, a predictive value, a combination of the actual value and the predictive value, a default value, or the actual value plus a margin, wherein the processing includes:
• determining an occurrence of a transient period, wherein the transient period is a period of time when a radio link is unstable;
• and
• determining whether the actual value is valid by comparing the timestamp of the actual value to the occurrence of the transient period, and on a condition that the timestamp is within the transient period, then the actual value is determined to be not valid.
