Abstract:
1. A method for filtering measurement values of a measurement quantity obtained from a communication between a mobile device and a mobile communication network, wherein a measurement value for the measurement quantity is periodically received at fixed points in time, and wherein the measurement value is filtered using a digital filter for obtaining a filtering result for the measurement quantity, the filtering of the measurement value including the weighting of the measurement value with an adaptive weighting coefficient, the method comprising: receiving a current measurement value at a current point in time; adjusting the adaptive weighting coefficient, if no measurement value was received for the previous point in time preceding the current point in time, for weighting the current measurement value in dependence on the time interval between the receiving of the current measurement value and a receiving of the last measurement value preceding the current measurement value, thereby adapting the adaptive weighting coefficient if a measurement gap occurs; filtering the current measurement value using the adaptive weighting coefficient to obtain the filtering result for the measurement quantity.
