Abstract
Devices, systems, and methods are disclosed for network-controlled UE filtering of detected cell reporting. The network instructs currently-connected UEs to only report neighboring cells that meet network-defined mobility filtering criteria and, in some embodiments, additional non-mobility filtering criteria. In response to receiving such instructions from the network, the UEs will apply the filtering criteria to at least the data associated with neighboring cells and, in some embodiments, data of the UE to determine which of the neighboring cells meet the filtering criteria. Once the UEs have determined that one or more neighboring cells meets the filtering criteria, the UEs communicate a detected cell report back to the network, which, according to specific embodiments of the invention, may be limited to identification of the neighboring cells that meet the mobility filtering criteria and, in some embodiments, additional non-mobility filtering criteria.
