Claim 19:
20. A method comprising:
causing broadcast, by a network node, of a measurement indication towards a user equipment, the measurement indication identifying a plurality of carriers to be measured in idle mode, wherein the plurality of carriers comprise carriers that the user equipment can aggregate with a carrier of a cell served by the network node and carriers that the user equipment cannot aggregate with the carrier of the cell served by the network node;
detecting a connection establishment of the user equipment to the cell served by the network node;
upon the connection establishment, causing reception of results of idle mode measurements performed by the user equipment for early measurement reporting and based on determined capabilities of the user equipment in relation to carrier aggregation, wherein the results comprise measurement results of only those carriers which the user equipment can aggregate with the carrier of the cell; and
utilizing the results of the idle mode measurements performed by the user equipment for carrier aggregation setup for the user equipment.
