Indication of user equipment mobility state to enhance mobility and call performance
First Claim
1. An apparatus for reporting a mobility state comprising:
- at least one processor; and
at least one computer readable memory including computer program code;
the at least one memory and the computer program code configured with the at least one processor to cause the apparatus to perform at least the operations of;
directing at least one message to establish, re-establish or re-configure a radio connection between a user equipment and a network access node;
determining a mobility state of the user equipment; and
reporting the determined mobility state of the user equipment in the at least one message that is being directed to establish, re-establish or re-configure the radio connection between the user equipment and the network access node.

Abstract
A user equipment UE reports its mobility state in signaling for establishing, re-establishing, or re-configuring a radio connection between the UE and a network access node. In one embodiment the reported mobility state is selected from among normal; medium and high. In another embodiment the reported mobility state informs of a number of cell changes the UE has performed within a predetermined evaluation period. The UE may also include an indication whether a hysteresis period for entering into a normal mobility state is running for the UE. The network configures the UE in dependence on the reported mobility state, such as setting a parameter for measuring or reporting neighbor cells (e.g., suspend a serving cell quality threshold as a condition for measuring/reporting; limit inter-frequency and/or inter-radio access technology reporting; set a shortest measurement, reporting gap; disable an event trigger; and/or set layer 3 filtering of measurement results for faster reporting).
