Abstract:
1. A method in a mobile station for minimizing measurement reporting in connected mode, the method comprising: configuring the mobile station for carrier aggregation on at least a primary serving cell and a secondary serving cell, the primary serving cell operating on a primary carrier frequency and the secondary serving cell operating on a secondary carrier frequency; further configuring the mobile station to perform measurements of cells operating on at least the primary carrier frequency and the secondary carrier frequency; refraining from triggering a measurement report when a neighbor cell operating on the primary carrier frequency is better than the primary serving cell only if a signal level of the primary serving cell is better than a first threshold; and triggering a measurement report when a neighbor cell operating on the secondary carrier frequency is better than the secondary serving cell only if the signal level of the primary serving cell is worse than a second threshold.
