Claim:
1. A method for controlling radio measurements of a user equipment within a cellular network system, wherein the user equipment is served by a cell of a first cell type characteristic, the cell being assigned to a base station, wherein the cellular network system comprises the cell and at least one further cell of a second cell type characteristic, the method comprising: providing, by the base station, a radio measurement configuration to the user equipment, wherein the radio measurement configuration is indicative for sets of parameters to be applied by the user equipment for radio measurements, the radio measurement configuration comprising at least two different sets of parameters being assigned to different cell type characteristics for a same frequency, and controlling the radio measurements of the user equipment based on the provided radio measurement configuration at least by configuring the user equipment to apply one of the at least two sets of different parameters for the radio measurements, wherein the radio measurement configuration comprises a list comprising information of the at least one further cell and the associated cell type characteristic, and wherein the list comprises information about a plurality of neighboring cells and the respective associated cell type characteristic, and wherein the cell type characteristics comprise at least one of the group consisting of cell type, cell coverage, cell capacity, cell size, cell weight, and cell priority.
