A method of MDT information logging and problem event reporting is provided. The method supports provisioning of reference events to enable correlation of system time and the problem occurrence. In one embodiment, a problem event report includes time information directly or indirectly related to a reference event. A method of handling battery condition is also provided. The method supports autonomously suspending or resuming OAM activities in MDT based on predefined battery condition. In one embodiment, a testable battery condition handling is designed for MDT logging.

Method of MDT information logging and reporting

A method and terminal are disclosed for cell reselection. The terminal obtains a dedicated priority list and a valid time of the dedicates priority list for cell reselection from a first communication system, such as a Long Term Evolution (LTE) system, when the terminal is in a cell of the fists communication system. In case that the terminal camps on a cell of a second communication system, such as a non-LTE system (for example, a UMTS system), and before the valid time expire, the terminal performs cell reselection using the dedicated priority list.

Method, terminal, and system for cell reselection

A method and terminal are disclosed for cell reselection. In the disclosure, the terminal obtains a dedicated priority list and a valid time of the dedicates priority list for cell reselection from a first communication system, such as a Long Term Evolution (LTE) system, when the terminal is in a cell of the fists communication system. In case that the the terminal camps on a cell of a second communication system, such as a non-LTE system (for example, a UMTS system), and before the valid time expire, the terminal performs cell reselection using the dedicated priority list.

Methods of MDT information logging and reporting are provided. In one embodiment, a method is provided to resolve shortcomings of prior art by correlating UL measurements with QoS information to enable UL performance analysis and accurate detection of coverage problems. In another embodiment, a method is provided to resolve the shortcomings of the prior art by making DL measurements and location information collecting or logging conditional on UL measurements.

Method of correlating measurement result

Various methods for wireless communication in a device with co-existed/co-located radios are provided. Multiple communication radio transceivers are co-existed/co-located in a user equipment (UE) having in-device coexistence (IDC) capability, which may result in IDC interference. For example, the UE is equipped with both LTE radio and some ISM band applications such as WiFi and Bluetooth modules. In a first method, the network identifies IDC capability by UE identification (e.g., UE ID). In a second method, the UE intentionally performs cell selection or reselection to cells in non-ISM frequency bands. In a third method, the UE signals the existence of ISM band applications via capability negotiation. In a fourth method, the UE signals the activation of ISM band applications by signaling messages (e.g., RRC message or MAC CE). Under the various methods, the UE and its serving eNB can apply FDM or TDM solutions to mitigate the IDC interference.

Method of correlating QoS and power information

A method, terminal, system and computer readable medium for cell reselection are disclosed. When in a cell of a Long Term Evolution (LTE) system, the terminal receives a message from the LTE system. The message includes a dedicated priority list for the cell reselection. When the terminal camps on a cell of a non-LTE system, the terminal performs inter-system cell reselection in accordance with the dedicated priority list before a valid time of the dedicated priority list expires. With the discloses method, terminal and system, the problems of establishing a dedicated priority list causes too much increased signaling and too high costs for network update in the prior art when perform inter-system cell (re)selection are effectively resolved.

A power control method to mitigate in-device coexistence (IDC) interference is provided. A wireless communication device (UE) is equipped with a first LTE radio module and a second co-located WiFi/BT/GSNN radio module. Upon detecting coexistence or IDC interference, the UE applies power control method to mitigate the interference. In a first embodiment, the LTE radio module adjusts its power parameters locally without informing the serving eNB. In a second embodiment, the LTE radio module adjusts its power parameters and implicit informs the eNB through existing PHR reporting. In a third embodiment, the LTE radio module changes its power or power class and explicitly informs the eNB through UE capability or new RRC message or MAC CE. Power control can be used as a low cost and lightweight solution before applying other heavyweight solutions that either require more resource or control overhead, or have higher impact on throughput.

Power control method to mitigate interference for in-device coexistence

A method, a device, and a system for sending and receiving messages are provided. The method for sending messages includes: receiving, by a Mobility Management Entity (MME), an Earthquake and Tsunami Warning System (ETWS) message; setting an information change identifier if the received ETWS message is different from the ETWS message stored by the MME; and sending the received ETWS message and the information change identifier. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the MME decides whether to send the ETWS message to the eNB. Therefore, the eNB needs only to transmit the received message to the UE transparently, and does not need to judge the content of the ETWS message, thus simplifying the process of the eNB sending the ETWS message and reducing the load of the access network device.
