Abstract

Disclosed is a wireless communication system and terminal for providing a wireless communication service, and more particularly, a method of transmitting a measurement log from a terminal to a network when a RRC connected terminal has not found a RRC connectable network, although a wireless dedicated channel is not allocated between the terminal and the network, in an Evolved Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (E-UMTS) evolved from a UMTS, Long Term Evolution (LTE) System or LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) system.

Claims

1. A method of performing a measurement logging in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a network, a measurement configuration in a Radio Resource Control (RRC) connected state;

performing a measurement logging in accordance with the measurement configuration after transitioning from the RRC connected state to a RRC idle state,

wherein the performance of the measurement logging is related with at least one of measurement location information and measurement time information,

transmitting, to the network, the logged measurement in the RRC connected state.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the performance of the measurement logging is further related with at least one of a neighboring cell list, a global cell identifier and a Primary Scrambling Code (PSC).

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the RRC connected state is a CELL_DCH state or CELL_FACH state.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the RRC idle state is at least one of a CELL_PCH state, a CELL_FACH state and a URA_PCH state.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the measurement configuration is a minimization driving test (MDT) configuration.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the measurement time information includes a timer value for a logging duration.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the measurement time information includes a logging interval indicating periodicity for the measurement logging.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the measurement location information indicates an area for which a user equipment (UE) is requested to perform the measurement logging.

9. An apparatus of performing a measurement logging in a wireless communication system, the apparatus comprising:

a radio frequency unit for transmitting and receiving radio signals; and

a processor operatively coupled with the radio frequency unit and configured for;

receiving, from a network, a measurement configuration in a Radio Resource Control (RRC) connected state;

performing a measurement logging in accordance with the measurement configuration after transitioning from the RRC connected state to a RRC idle state,

wherein the performance of the measurement logging is related with at least one of measurement location information and measurement time information,

transmitting, to the network, the logged measurement in the RRC connected state.

10. The apparatus of claim 9 wherein the performance of the measurement logging is further related with at least one of a neighboring cell list, a global cell identifier and a Primary Scrambling Code (PSC).

11. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the RRC connected state is a CELL_DCH state or CELL_FACH state.

12. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the RRC idle state is at least one of a CELL_PCH state, a CELL_FACH state and a URA_PCH state.

13. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the measurement configuration is a minimization driving test (MDT) configuration.

14. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the measurement time information includes a timer value for a logging duration.

15. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the measurement time information includes a logging interval indicating periodicity for the measurement logging.

16. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the measurement location information indicates an area for which a user equipment (UE) is requested to perform the measurement logging.
