Managing the measurement of signals
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- monitoring a quality of received signals for which a measurement circuit provides measurement results;
in the case that the quality does not exceed a set quality before an end of a reporting period, causing a reporting of measurement results that are available at the end of the reporting period; and
in the case that the quality exceeds the set quality at a measurement instant before the end of the reporting period, putting the measurement circuit to a sleep mode and causing a reporting of extrapolated measurement results, the extrapolated measurement results being measurement results from a measurement instant before the measurement circuit was put to a sleep mode extrapolated to the end of the reporting period.

Abstract
For managing measurements on signals, a quality of received signals, for which a measurement circuit provides measurement results, is monitored. In the case that the quality does not exceed a set quality before an end of a reporting period, a reporting of measurement results that are available at the end of the reporting period is caused. In the case that the quality exceeds the set quality at a measurement instant before the end of the reporting period, the measurement circuit is put to a sleep mode and a reporting of extrapolated measurement results is caused, the extrapolated measurement results being measurement results from a measurement instant before the measurement circuit was put to a sleep mode extrapolated to the end of the reporting period.

8. An apparatus comprising a control circuitry implemented in hardware or at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code, the control circuitry configured to or the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to perform:
-
monitor a quality of received signals for which a measurement circuit provides measurement results; report measurement results that are available at the end of a reporting period, in the case that the quality does not exceed a set quality before an end of the reporting period; and put the measurement circuit to a sleep mode and cause a reporting of extrapolated measurement results, in the case that the quality exceeds the set quality at a measurement instant before the end of the reporting period, the extrapolated measurement results being measurement results from a measurement instant before the measurement circuit was put to a sleep mode extrapolated to the end of the reporting period. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium in which computer program code is stored, the computer program code causing an apparatus to perform the following when executed by a processor:
-
monitoring a quality of received signals for which a measurement circuit provides measurement results; in the case that the quality does not exceed a set quality before an end of a reporting period, causing a reporting of measurement results that are available at the end of the reporting period; and in the case that the quality exceeds the set quality at a measurement instant before the end of the reporting period, putting the measurement circuit to a sleep mode and causing a reporting of extrapolated measurement results, the extrapolated measurement results being measurement results from a measurement instant before the measurement circuit was put to a sleep mode extrapolated to the end of the reporting period.

21. An apparatus comprising:
-
means for monitoring a quality of received signals for which means for measuring provide measurement results; means for causing a reporting of measurement results that are available at the end of a reporting period in the case that the quality does not exceed a set quality before an end of a reporting period; means for putting the measurement circuit to a sleep mode in the case that the quality exceeds a set quality at a measurement instant before the end of the reporting period; and means for causing a reporting of extrapolated measurement results in the case that the quality exceeds the set quality at a measurement instant before the end of the reporting period, the extrapolated measurement results being measurement results from a measurement instant before the measurement circuit was put to a sleep mode extrapolated to the end of the reporting period.
