Abstract
A method of controlling receipt of signals at a terminal () of communications system involves receiving data (D,D) on at least one control channel from a first base station (). The terminal is adapted to periodically perform measurements on signals transmitted by at least one second base station (). The terminal determines whether a period in which data signals (D) are on the at least on control channel at least partially overlaps with a period for performing measurements (M) and disables performance of measurements in favor of receipt of data on the at least one control channel.
