Method of controlling a mode of reporting of measurements on a radio interface and radio network controller for the implementation of the method
First Claim
1. A method of controlling a mode of reporting of measurements made on a radio interface between a mobile terminal and a cellular radio network infrastructure, the infrastructure comprising at least one radio network controller and fixed transceivers, the method comprising the following steps:
- measuring parameters of radio propagation between the mobile terminal and at least one of the fixed transceivers;
transmitting to the radio network controller report messages indicating at least a part of the measured parameters, in accordance with a mode of reporting specified by the radio network controller;
obtaining an estimate of speed of movement of the mobile terminal at the radio network controller; and
processing the report messages at the radio network controller so as to determine, by taking account of the said estimate of speed, a mode of reporting to be specified for a part at least of the report messages.

Abstract
Parameters of radio propagation between a mobile terminal and at least one fixed transceiver are measured. Report messages indicating at least a part of the measured parameters, in accordance with a mode of reporting specified by the radio network controller are transmitted to the radio network controller. An estimate of speed of movement of the mobile terminal is obtained at the radio network controller. The report messages are processed at the radio network controller so as to determine, by taking account of the said estimate of speed, a mode of reporting to be specified for a part at least of the report messages.
