UE Measurements

Intra-frequency measurements: measurements on downlink physical channels at the same frequency as the active set. A measurement object corresponds to one cell.

Inter-frequency measurements: measurements on downlink physical channels at frequencies that differ from the frequency of the active set. A measurement object corresponds to one cell.

Inter-RAT measurements: measurements on downlink physical channels belonging to another radio access technology than UTRAN, e.g. GSM. A measurement object corresponds to one cell.

Traffic volume measurements: measurements on uplink traffic volume. A measurement object corresponds to one cell.

Quality measurements: Measurements of downlink quality parameters, e.g. downlink transport block error rate. A measurement object corresponds to one transport channel in case of BLER. A measurement object corresponds to one timeslot in case of SIR (TDD only).

UE-internal measurements: Measurements of UE transmission power and UE received signal level.

UE positioning measurements: Measurements of UE position.The UE supports a number of measurements running in parallel. The UE also supports that each measurement is controlled and reported independently of every other measurement.
