Abstract:
1. A method of performing inter radio access technology radio measurements for a communication device camped on a first radio communication network operating in accordance with a first radio access technology, the measurements being carried out, during given measurement gaps each comprising a specific gap purpose indicating a measurement type, with respect to a second communication network operating in accordance with a second radio access technology, the method comprising: the communication device determining whether a given measurement gap coincides in time domain with a measurement position defined by the communication device for performing measurements with respect to the second communication network; and in case the measurement position coincides with the position of the measurement gap, then the communication device performing during the measurement gap a first type of measurement with respect to the second communication network and a second type of measurement with respect to the second communication network, wherein the first type of measurement is a base station identity code re-confirmation measurement and the second type of measurement is a GSM carrier received signal strength indicator measurement.
