Abstract:
1. A method at or on behalf of a radio network controller to control measurement reports, the method comprising: receiving a measurement capacity report from a radio base station of the telecommunication system, the measurement capacity report comprising a capacity of the radio base station to report on measurements; initially determining one or more measurement control parameters of the radio base station based on the measurement capacity report; sending the initially determined one or more measurement control parameters to the radio base station; receiving one or more measurement reports from the radio base station; determining a change of a measurement included in the one or more measurement reports; determining whether the change of the measurement exceeds a preset limit; adjusting one or more measurement control parameters related to the measurement to increase a reporting frequency of the measurement when it is determined that the change exceeds the preset limit; determining whether the adjustment to the measurement control parameters will exceed the capacity of the radio base station; readjusting the measurement control parameters such that the readjusted measurement control parameters will not exceed the capacity of the radio base station; and sending the adjusted one or more measurement control parameters command to the radio base station, wherein both the initially determined and the adjusted one or more measurement control parameters specify reporting requirements from the radio base station and are such that the capacity of the radio base station is not exceeded in satisfying the reporting requirements.
