METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR OPTIMIZATION OF MEASUREMENT REPORTING IN WIRELESS NETWORKS
First Claim
1. A method in a wireless communication system for gathering a measurement associated with a wireless signal from a mobile terminal to a base station, the method comprising:
- configuring, by a controller of a layered radio environment map (REM) of the wireless communication system, the mobile terminal to make a measurement associated with the wireless signal from the mobile terminal to the base station;
configuring, by the controller, the mobile terminal to construct a minimization of drive test (MDT) measurement report from the measurement;
obtaining, by the controller, information related to the mobile terminal; and
directing, by the controller, the mobile terminal to use a network connection to transmit the MDT measurement report, wherein the network connection is selected based at least in part on the information related to the mobile terminal.

Abstract
A controller of a layered radio environment map of a wireless communication system. The controller configures a mobile terminal to make a measurement associated with a wireless signal from the mobile terminal to a base station. The mobile terminal constructs a minimization of drive test (MDT) measurement report from the measurement, and uses a network connection to transmit the MDT measurement report. The network connection is selected based at least in part on information related to the mobile terminal. As such, the power consumption in the mobile terminal is minimized

22. A mobile communications network management system, comprising:
-
a mobile terminal comprising a processor and storage; a base station comprising a processor and storage, wherein the base station is in wireless communication with the mobile terminal; a radio environment map (REM) comprising a centralized database; and a REM manager in communication with the base station and the mobile terminal, wherein the REM manager is configured to; direct the mobile terminal to perform a measurement associated with wireless communication between the mobile terminal and the base station, direct the mobile terminal to construct a minimization of drive test (MDT) report from the measurement, obtain information related to the mobile terminal, and direct the mobile terminal to use a network connection to transmit the MDT report, wherein the network connection is selected based at least in part on the information related to the mobile terminal.
