Adaptation of mobility parameters based on user equipment measurement availability

A method, comprising:

• adapting one or more mobility parameters based on measurement availability or measurement rate;
• and
• communicating the rules or adaptations to the rules to a user equipment,
• wherein the adapting one or more mobility parameters based on measurement availability or measurement rate comprises adapting at least one mobility parameter by selecting between predetermined sets of parameters.

An apparatus, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory including computer program code,
• wherein the at least one memory and the computer program code are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to
• determine at least one of measurement rate and measurement availability;
• and
• adapt at least one of an event triggering and a measurement filtering depending on at least one of the measurement rate and the measurement availability,
• wherein the at least one memory and the computer program code are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to determine the at least one of measurement rate and measurement availability by at least monitoring availability based on at least one of previously observed measurement activity, known or predicted near-future measurement availability, a number of measurement opportunities during a certain time window, a number of active subframes the user equipment has had during at least one previous discontinuous reception cycle or predetermined time window and configured discontinuous reception parameters.
