Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for distinguishing minimization of drive tests (MDT) logging through different radio resource controller (RRC) states. One method may include receiving, from a network element, a logged measurement configuration comprising specific content for a user equipment depending on a connection state of the user equipment. The method may also include validating the logged measurement configuration, wherein the validating is embodied by the network element prior to transitioning to a different user equipment state, or by a user equipment after entering a logging state, for which the logged measurement configuration was designated. The method may further include performing logging of a measurement according to the content of the logged measurement configuration. In addition, the method may include tagging the logged measurement. The method may also include transmitting the tagged logged measurement to the network element.
