Patent ID: 8630250

Claim:
A method for reporting a Minimization of Drive Tests, MDT, measurement result, comprising the steps of: receiving, by a user equipment, an instruction to report an MDT measurement result transmitted from a base station; and when the total data amount of stored MDT measurement result data, to be reported, is more than data amount that can be accommodated by a Packet Data Convergence Protocol, PDCP, module, reporting, by the user equipment, the MDT measurement result data to the base station one or more times, wherein the total data amount of MDT measurement result data reported each time is not more than the data amount that can be accommodated by the PDCP module; wherein reporting, by the user equipment, the MDT measurement result data to the base station one or more times, wherein the total data amount of MDT measurement result data reported each time being not more than the data amount that can be accommodated by the PDCP module, comprises: A. transmitting, by the user equipment, a data packet carrying the unreported MDT measurement result data to the base station, wherein the total data amount of the data packet is not more than the data amount that can be accommodated by the PDCP module; and B. returning to the step A if the user equipment receives an instruction to report an MDT measurement result transmitted from the base station again; wherein, at least one of: the user equipment transmits a log available indicator message to the base station before the user equipment receives the instruction to report an MDT measurement result transmitted from the base station, wherein the log available indicator message carries information on the number of data packets, to be reported, carrying the MDT measurement result data; or the user equipment carries report progress information in the data packet carrying the unreported MDT measurement result data before the user equipment transmits the data packet, wherein the report progress information indicates whether the user equipment has further unreported MDT measurement result data; wherein before the user equipment transmits a data packet carrying the unreported MDT measurement result data to the base station, the method further comprises: carrying a serial number in the data packet, wherein the serial number indicates a transmission order of the data packet.
