Patent Images
1. A radio resource control unit which monitors air interface resources and provides air interface data for radio resource management (RRM), comprising:
- a measurement unit configured to measure actual air interface values and a corresponding time of each measurement;
a predictive processing unit configured to generate predicted air interface values before an RRM function performs an action, predictive of the effect of the action on an air interface;
a default processing unit for generating default air interface values;
a storage unit for storing the default values, predicted values and actual air interface measurements and corresponding measurement times; and
a processing unit configured to;
process the stored default values, predicted values, and actual air interface measurements and corresponding times;
determine whether the actual air interface measurements are valid, wherein the actual air interface measurements are valid on a condition that they were taken within a predetermined time period before the determining or whether the RRM function is not in a transient state at the time of the determining; and
provide the actual air interface measurements or an alternative value to an RRM device, wherein the alternative value is one of;
the predicted air interface values or the default air interface values.

Abstract
An air interface information unit including a measurement setup unit for implementing measurement setup procedures and configuration; a measurement reception and storing unit for storing actual, predicted and default air interface values and corresponding timestamps; a measurement processing unit for filtering, verifying, processing and combining air interface values; and a measurement output unit for providing air interface values to RRM functions upon request and triggering RRM functions when an air interface value exceeds a predetermined threshold.
