Patent ID: 8577386

Claim:
A method for measuring and reporting resource in a long term evolution system, the method comprising: a source base station encapsulating a resource status request message and sending the resource status request message to a target base station; after receiving the resource status request message, the target base station processing the resource status request message, and sending a resource status success response to the source base station if the processing is successful, or else sending a resource status failure response if the processing is failed; said source base station encapsulating at least a message type, a measurement request type and measurement configuration information in the resource status request message, wherein, a value of said measurement request type is of enumeration type, and the value is one or more of start, modify and end; said measurement configuration information is measurement configuration information in current measurement request type; further comprising: said source base station encapsulating one or more measurement lists in said measurement configuration information, and each said measurement list comprising at least a measuring and reporting type, a measurement object and a measurement cell list, wherein: said measuring and reporting type is measuring periodically or measuring for an event; said measurement object comprises at least one or more of hardware load, transmission bandwidth and physical resource block usage; said measurement cell list comprises a cell global identifier to uniquely identify each cell; said source base station allocating a measurement ID to the measurement configuration information in said measurement list, and encapsulating said measurement ID in a corresponding measurement list; after sending the resource status request message to said target base station, the source base station also encapsulating a measurement end message, where the measurement end message includes at least a message type and a measurement end list, said measurement end list comprises a measurement ID of the measurement configuration in said resource status request message; and after receiving said measurement end message, said target base station locally searching for the measurement configuration information corresponding to said measurement ID according to the measurement ID in said measurement end message, and ending measuring and reporting according to the searched out measurement configuration information.
