Claim:
1. A method comprising: receiving, at a terminal, configuration information for terminal measurements of carriers relating to network performance on the carriers, the carriers being carriers in a carrier aggregation for the terminal, the configuration information comprising at least two measurement configurations with at least one measurement configuration for a radio access technology; performing, by the terminal, terminal measurements on the carriers according to the configuration information, the terminal measurements being performed relate to immediate measurements for minimization of drive tests for reporting to a trace collection entity and/or an operation, administrative, and management system, the receiving and the performing being accomplished when in a radio resource control connected mode; and reporting, by the terminal, the terminal measurements on the carriers in the carrier aggregation to the trace collection entity and/or an operation, administrative, and management system, the terminal measurements enabling the minimization of drive tests.
