Abstract

A mobile station determines, in accordance with reception quality of a radio signal from a base station, a measurement cycle of a predetermined measurement on a link status and/or on/off of the predetermined measurement and controls execution of the predetermined measurement based on the determination.

Claims

1. A base station, comprising:

a transmitter configured to transmit to a mobile station a first signal for performing a measurement by the mobile station of a first cell quality of a first cell; and

a receiver configured to receive a second signal including a result of the measurement and a position information from the mobile station, wherein

the mobile station performs the measurement and associates the position information with the result in response to a second cell quality of a second cell being equal to or less than the first cell quality.

2. A communication method, comprising:

by a base station, transmitting to a mobile station a first signal for performing a measurement by the mobile station of a first cell quality of a first cell; and

receiving a second signal including a result of the measurement and a position information from the mobile station, wherein

the mobile station performs the measurement and associates the position information with the result in response to a second cell quality of a second cell being equal to or less than the first cell quality.
