Claim Text:
1. A method for reporting a measurement report of a measurement event, the method comprising: determining that a measurement event is generated in a user equipment (UE) in an activated state of a discontinuous reception (DRX) mode; judging whether a first time to trigger corresponding to the measurement event is valid; using, when it is judged that the first time to trigger is valid, the first time to trigger to time the measurement event; when it is judged that the first time to trigger is invalid, using a second time to trigger to time the measurement event, such that the UE performs a measurement operation to a serving cell and at least one neighboring cell of the serving cell when being in a next one or next several activated states of the DRX mode after the generation of the measurement event, so as to obtain a measurement result; judging whether a previous one measurement event corresponding to the first time to trigger is still valid according to the measurement result; and when the previous one measurement event is still valid, reporting the measurement report corresponding to the previous one measurement event to a network; otherwise, not reporting the measurement report corresponding to the previous one measurement event to the network or updating the measurement event, wherein the step of judging whether a first time to trigger corresponding to the measurement event is valid comprises: judging whether the time from a time point at which the measurement event is generated to the time point at which the UE enters a DRX sleep state is less than the duration of the first time to trigger configured to the measurement event by the network, and whether the time from a time point at which the measurement event is generated to the time point at which the UE exits the DRX sleep state for the last time is larger than the duration of the first time to trigger configured to the measurement event by the network; if the time from a time point at which the measurement event is generated to the time point at which the UE enters the DRX sleep state is less than the duration of the first time to trigger configured to the measurement event by the network, and the time from a time point at which the measurement event is generated to the time point at which the UE exits the DRX sleep state for the last time is larger than the duration of the first time to trigger configured to the measurement event by the network, the first time to trigger is judged to be invalid; if the time from a time point at which the measurement event is generated to the time point at which the UE enters the DRX sleep state is greater than or equal to the duration of the first time to trigger configured to the measurement event by the network, and the time from a time point at which the measurement event is generated to the time point at which the UE exits the DRX sleep state for the last time is less than or equal to the duration of the first time to trigger configured to the measurement event by the network, the first time to trigger is judged to be valid.
