CROSS-RAT CONFIGURATION FOR MINIMIZATION OF DRIVE TEST
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method, implemented in a first base station, for wireless communication between the first base station and a user equipment using a first, packet switched radio access technology, where one or more processors are programmed to perform steps comprising:
- receiving an indication that a user equipment will perform circuit switched fallback and communicate with a second base station using a second, circuit switched radio access technology; and
transmitting, to the user equipment, a first set of parameters to be measured corresponding to the second radio access technology, wherein the step of transmitting is performed responsive to receiving the indication.

Abstract
Systems and methods for configuring cross radio access technology minimization of drive testing are presented. In one embodiment, the use of circuit switched fallback is used as a trigger for switching minimization of drive test configurations on a user equipment. After the user equipment returns from circuit switched fallback, the minimization of drive test parameters are reported to the base station.
