A wireless communication method executed by a user equipment, UE, configured to detect cells, wherein each cell that the UE detects is categorized into one of an active set, a monitored set and a detected set, wherein the active set comprises cells that have established dedicated physical channels with the UE, wherein the monitored set comprises cells that are not included in the active set but that are included in a CELL INFO LIST that is configured by a Radio Network Controller, RNC, through a measurement control message or system information, and wherein the detected set comprises cells that the UE has detected but that are not included in either the active set or the monitored set, said method comprising: receiving a measurement control message over a downlink control channel, DCCH, wherein the measurement control message comprises a measurement identity and an inter-frequency measurement reporting criteria Information Element, IE, wherein said inter-frequency measurement reporting criteria IE comprises an inter-frequency event evaluation blacklist, EEB, and a frequency information element, IE, indicating a frequency to which the inter-frequency EEB applies, wherein the inter-frequency EEB identifies one or more detected set cells; determining whether a local inter-frequency EEB exists at the UE for the indicated frequency in response to receipt of the measurement control message; in response to a determination that a local inter-frequency EEB exists for the indicated frequency, replacing the contents of the local inter-frequency EEB with the contents of the inter-frequency EEB comprised in the measurement control message; in response to a determination that no local inter-frequency EEB exists for the indicated frequency, creating a local inter-frequency EEB for the indicated frequency, wherein the local inter-frequency EEB comprises the contents of the inter-frequency EEB comprised in the measurement control message; excluding the one or more detected set cells from one or more inter-frequency measurement event evaluations for the indicated frequency; wherein the method further comprises: receiving a release notification indicating a release of a measurement identity associated with one or more measurements configured for the indicated frequency; and maintaining the local inter-frequency EEB for the indicated frequency until all measurement identities associated with measurement objects configured on the indicated frequency are released. receiving a measurement control message over a downlink control channel, DCCH, wherein the measurement control message comprises a measurement identity and an inter-frequency measurement reporting criteria Information Element, IE, wherein said inter-frequency measurement reporting criteria IE comprises an inter-frequency event evaluation blacklist, EEB, and a frequency information element, IE, indicating a frequency to which the inter-frequency EEB applies, wherein the inter-frequency EEB identifies one or more detected set cells; determining whether a local inter-frequency EEB exists at the UE for the indicated frequency in response to receipt of the measurement control message; in response to a determination that a local inter-frequency EEB exists for the indicated frequency, replacing the contents of the local inter-frequency EEB with the contents of the inter-frequency EEB comprised in the measurement control message; in response to a determination that no local inter-frequency EEB exists for the indicated frequency, creating a local inter-frequency EEB for the indicated frequency, wherein the local inter-frequency EEB comprises the contents of the inter-frequency EEB comprised in the measurement control message; excluding the one or more detected set cells from one or more inter-frequency measurement event evaluations for the indicated frequency; wherein the method further comprises: receiving a release notification indicating a release of a measurement identity associated with one or more measurements configured for the indicated frequency; and maintaining the local inter-frequency EEB for the indicated frequency until all measurement identities associated with measurement objects configured on the indicated frequency are released. receiving a release notification indicating a release of a measurement identity associated with one or more measurements configured for the indicated frequency; and maintaining the local inter-frequency EEB for the indicated frequency until all measurement identities associated with measurement objects configured on the indicated frequency are released.
