Abstract

An apparatus to be implemented in a user equipment (UE), the apparatus comprising hardware circuitry to activate a timer for transmitting a measurement report to a base station; output a filtered signal value from a measured signal using a first parameter; determine a trend in signal quality based on the first filtered signal value and a second filtered signal value based on a second parameter; or some processing of the values either from the first filter or from the received signal; and determine whether to deactivate the timer based on the trend in signal quality. The filtered signal can be generated using a first layer 3 filter using network-configured parameters and a second layer 3 filter using proprietary parameters. Processing of the values can also be done using proprietary parameters and techniques.
