Abstract:
Apparatus and a method are described for handling inter-radio access technology measurement reports in a radio telecommunications device, the device being operable with a first cellular radio access technology (e.g. UTRAN, E-UTRAN), GERAN and Generic Access Network, the radio telecommunications device being capable of adopting a cellular preferred mode. The method comprises, in the radio telecommunications device, when the radio telecommunications device is in cellular preferred mode and operating with the first cellular radio access technology and the radio telecommunications device is registered with a Generic Access Network Controller that operates as a GERAN network component, and a quality of a signal from the first cellular radio access technology is below a certain threshold and a quality of a signal from the GAN is above a certain threshold and a request has been received to send an inter-RAT measurement report, generating inter-radio access technology measurements and, when there is at least one GERAN cell that satisfies a triggering condition, transmitting a measurement report in respect of the GERAN cell(s) and a measurement report in respect of the generic access network.
