Method, device and system for controlling UE to take measurements

A system for controlling user equipment (UE) to take measurements, comprising a radio network controller and UE, wherein

• the radio network controller is configured to send an Automatic Neighboring Relationship Function (ANR) measurement configuration message to the UE, wherein the ANR measurement configuration message carries a maximum period that the UE is to take ANR measurements and a measurement reporting manner of periodical reporting, wherein the measurement reporting manner of periodical reporting to the UE comprises:
• carrying an information cell, the value of which is periodical reporting, in the ANR measurement message and carrying an information cell which comprises the length of a reporting period;
• or carrying an information cell which comprises the length of a reporting period in the ANR measurement configuration message;
• the UE is configured to receive the ANR measurement configuration message, take the ANR measurements, time a measurement period, and store measurement results;
• and periodically report the measurement results according to the measurement reporting manner of periodical reporting instructed by the radio network controller, and delete the ANR measurement configuration message when the measurement period reaches the maximum period.

A radio network controller, comprising:

• a generation module, configured to generate an Automatic Neighboring Relationship Function (ANR) measurement configuration message, wherein the ANR measurement configuration message carries a maximum period that UE is to take ANR measurements and a measurement reporting manner of periodical reporting, wherein the measurement reporting manner of periodical reporting further comprises:
• carrying an information cell, the value of which is periodical reporting, in the ANR measurement configuration message and carrying an information cell which comprises the length of a reporting period;
• or carrying an information cell which comprises the length of a reporting period in the ANR measurement configuration message;
• and
• a sending module, configured to send the ANR measurement configuration message to the UE.

A user equipment, comprising:

• a receiving module, configured to receive an Automatic Neighboring Relationship Function (ANR) measurement configuration message sent from a radio network controller, take ANR measurements, time a measurement period, and store measurement results, and periodically report the measurement results according to a measurement reporting manner of periodical reporting instructed by the radio network controller, wherein the ANR measurement configuration message carries a maximum period that the UE is to take the ANR measurements and the measurement reporting manner of periodical reporting, wherein the measurement reporting manner of periodical reporting further comprises:
• carrying an information cell, the value of which is periodical reporting, in the ANR measurement configuration message and carrying an information cell which comprises the length of a reporting period;
• or carrying an information cell which comprises the length of a reporting period in the ANR measurement configuration message;
• and
• a deletion module, configured to, when the measurement period reaches the maximum period, delete the ANR measurement configuration message.
