Claim Text:
1. A method for adaptive filtering of cell measurements, the method comprising a wireless communication device: calculating a first filtered measurement of a cell in a network, wherein the first filtered measurement is based on a network configured filter coefficient, the first filtered measurement indicative of a channel condition of the cell over a first measurement period; determining, based at least in part on a plurality of instantaneous measurement samples of the cell captured over a second measurement period, that a fading condition of the cell over the second measurement period exceeds a first threshold; modifying the network configured filter coefficient to derive a modified filter coefficient in response to the fading condition of the cell exceeding the first threshold over the second measurement period; filtering the plurality of instantaneous measurement samples based on the modified filter coefficient to calculate a second filtered measurement of the cell; comparing the first filtered measurement and the second filtered measurement; in an instance in which a difference between the second filtered measurement and the first filtered measurement exceeds a second threshold: in an instance in which the difference between the second filtered measurement and the first filtered measurement does not exceed the second threshold, calculating the adjusted measurement value directly from the second filtered measurement; and using the adjusted measurement value for event evaluation and reporting.
