Claim:
1. A method of operation of a user equipment, comprising: detecting a connection failure in a cellular communications network; starting a timer in response to detecting the connection failure; detecting a triggering event for transmitting a failure report associated with the connection failure; and in response to the triggering event: stopping the timer; determining whether the time at which the connection failure occurred is after a most recent mobility adjustment made, where the most recent mobility adjustment is an adjustment of one or more mobility parameters for a specific neighboring cell; in response to determining that the time at which the connection failure occurred is after the most recent mobility adjustment made, transmitting a failure report, the failure report being associated with the connection failure and including a timer value that defines an amount of time between the time at which the connection failure occurred and a time at which the user equipment transmits the failure report; and in response to determining that the time at which the connection failure occurred is not after the most recent mobility adjustment made, not transmitting the failure report.
