Abstract

The present invention relates to a method and a system for transmitting data packets between a mobile station and a current base station of a mobile radio system. The mobile station repeatedly transmits measurement reports each containing measurement data relating to a number of adjacent base stations to the current base station. A later measurement report contains reference data for at least one adjacent base station whose measurement data have already been received from the current base station in an earlier measurement report and stored, the reference information referring to the measurement data of the respective earlier measurement report. As a result, measurement data relating to a relatively large number of adjacent base stations can be transmitted in the measurement reports or the transmission bandwidth can be reduced.
