Claim Text:
1. A method in a measuring node for handling measurements performed on signals received over a wireless interface in a wireless communication system, comprising: performing measurements on received signals according to a first measurement configuration to obtain first measurements; detecting a state transition from the first measurement configuration to a second measurement configuration has occurred; performing measurements on received signals according to the second measurement configuration to obtain second measurements, wherein at least one of the first measurement configuration and the second measurement configuration comprises a signal activity pattern; identifying a defined measurement-related rule for how to handle measurements after the state transition to the second-measurement configuration; based on the defined measurement related rule for how to handle the measurements after the state transition, using the first measurements and the second measurements, wherein using the first measurements and the second measurements comprises: transmitting a report to a network node, the report indicating whether the first measurements were combined with the second measurements, whether the first measurements were dropped and not used, and whether the first measurements were used separately from the second measurements based on the defined measurement related rule for how to handle the measurements after the state transition.
