Abstract

In a communication terminal 1 according to the present invention, a radio communication device 12 includes a measurement unit 12B that measures a predetermined radio quality according to an instruction “MDT Configuration” from a radio base station eNB; an acquisition unit 12C that acquires the location information of the communication terminal 1 notified by a positioning device 14; and a transmission unit 12D that transmits a measurement report “MDT Log Report” including the location information of the communication terminal 1 and the measurement result of the predetermined radio quality to a radio base station eNB.

Claims

1. A communication terminal including a positioning device and a radio communication device, wherein

the radio communication device comprises:

a measurement unit that measures a predetermined radio quality according to an instruction from a radio base station;

an acquisition unit that acquires the location information of the communication terminal notified by the positioning device; and

a transmission unit that transmits a measurement report including the location information of the communication terminal and the measurement result of the predetermined radio quality to the radio base station, and

the positioning device is configured to periodically transmit the location information of the communication terminal to the radio communication device.

8. The communication terminal according to claim 1, wherein the transmission unit is configured to transmit the measurement report when the amount of change of the location information of the communication terminal falls below a predetermined threshold value.

9. The communication terminal according to claim 1 that is a vehicle mounted type.

2. (canceled)

3. A communication terminal including a positioning device and a radio communication device, wherein

the radio communication device comprises:

a measurement device that measures a predetermined radio quality according to an instruction from a radio base station;

an acquisition unit that acquires the location information of the communication terminal notified by the positioning device; and

a transmission unit that transmits a measurement report including the location information of the communication terminal and the measurement result of the predetermined radio quality to the radio base station, and

the measurement device is configured to notify the time information along with the location information of the communication terminal.

6. The communication terminal according to claim 3, wherein the measurement unit is configured to generate the measurement report correlating the location information of the communication terminal and the measurement result of the predetermined radio quality by using the time information.

7. The communication terminal according to claim 3, wherein the acquisition unit is configured to synchronize the time information with the positioning device when a request for the location information of the communication terminal is sent to the positioning device.
