Abstract
A method in a wireless terminal (110) for sending a measurement report to a serving base station (130) before handover is provided. The wireless terminal (110) and the base station (130) are comprised in a cell in a wireless communications system. The wireless terminal (110) is arranged to use a standard size message or a reduced size message for sending a measurement report before a handover. The wireless terminal (110) obtains (601) information about the cell size and/or the system load. When the cell size exceeds a predetermined value or when the system load exceeds a predetermined value, the wireless terminal (110) sends (605) a measurement report to the base station (130), using the reduced size message.
Claims32
A method in a wireless terminal for sending a measurement report to a serving base station before handover, the method comprising:
- obtaining, by the wireless terminal, information about a cell size and/or a wireless communication system load, the wireless terminal being configured to use a standard size message or a reduced size message when sending a measurement report to the serving base station, the wireless terminal and the base station being comprised in a cell in a wireless communication system;
- and
- when the cell size exceeds a predetermined cell size value or when the system load exceeds a predetermined load value, sending, by the wireless terminal, a measurement report to the base station, using the reduced size message.
A method in a base station for handling a measurement report from a wireless terminal before handover, the method comprising:
- sending, by the base station, information about a cell size and/or a system load to the wireless terminal that is configured to send a standard size measurement report or a reduced size measurement report to the base station, the wireless terminal and the base station being comprised in a cell in a wireless communication system;
- and
- receiving the reduced size measurement report from the wireless terminal, when the cell size exceeded a predetermined cell size value or when the system load exceeded a predetermined load value.
A wireless terminal arrangement for sending a measurement report to a serving base station before handover, the wireless terminal arrangement comprising:
- an obtaining unit configured to obtain information about a cell size and/or a system load;
- and
- a sending unit configured to send a measurement report to the base station using a standard size message or a reduced size message, the sending unit using the reduced size message to send the measurement report when the cell size exceeds a predetermined cell size value or when the system load exceeds a predetermined load value,
- wherein the wireless terminal arrangement and the base station are in a cell of a wireless communications system.
A base station arrangement for handling a measurement report from a wireless terminal before handover, the base station arrangement comprising:
- a sending unit configured to send information about a cell size and/or a system load to the wireless terminal;
- and
- a receiving unit configured to receive a reduced size measurement report from the wireless terminal when the cell size exceeds a predetermined cell size value or when the system load exceeds a predetermined load value,
- wherein the wireless terminal and the base station arrangement are in a cell in a wireless communication system, and the base station arrangement is configured to receive, from the wireless terminal, a standard size measurement report or the reduced size measurement report before handover.
