Abstract  Abstract

The invention relates to a method and apparatus for selecting user units (301 303 501) to be the carrier of the measurement. user units (301 303 501) by a communication system service and operable to measure carriers in one frequency band the band typically belongs to a different communication system. the device comprises a performance processor (329) for determining and measuring in the band user units (301 303 501) of measuring performance related to the user unit (301 303 501) for measuring performance characteristics. the device further comprises a carrier subset selector (331) for selecting user unit in the frequency band to be measured carrier subset. selecting the subset of carriers according to the measured performance characteristic. The invention can be applied to the 2 generation and 3 generation cellular communication systems such as GSM/UMTS.

This invention relates to a method and apparatus for selecting carriers to be measured by a sibscriber unit (301 303 501). The subscriber unit (301 303 501) is served by a communication system and is operable to measure carriers in a frequency band which typically belongs to a different communication system. The appratus comprises a performance processor (329) for determining a measuring performance characteristic of the subscriber unit (301 303 501) related to the measurement performance of the subscriber unit (301 303 501) when measuring in the frequency band. The apparatus furthermore comprises a carrier subset selector (331) for selecting a subset of carriers in the frequency band to be measured by the subscriber unit. The subset of carriers is selected dependent on the measuring performance characteristic. The invention is applicable to dual 2nd and 3rd generation cellular communication systems such as GSM/UMTS.
