Abstract
This document discloses a solution for performing exploration of radio resource management actions. According to an aspect, a method in a terminal device includes: receiving configuration information from a network node of a radio access network; entering, in response to the configuration information and in a state of not having a need to transfer data, an exploration mode where a reduced set of radio connection functions are enabled compared with a default operating mode; triggering, in the exploration mode, an explorative handover from a source cell managed by the network node to a target cell; establishing a radio connection with a target network node as a result of the explorative handover to the target cell managed by the target network node; acquiring measurement data of the radio connection and transmitting the measurement data to the target network node.
