Abstract
A network receiver is dynamically configurable to process access bursts received from mobile stations as both normal-type and abbreviated-type access bursts. With this capability, radio signal measurement data may be collected in the network cell or sector in which the receiver is positioned for signals originating from mobile stations operating in surrounding cells, whether or not those surrounding cells use the same burst structure. In an exemplary implementation, the receiver determines whether access burst data exhibits a lower error rate when processed as a normal burst, or when processed as an abbreviated burst. The data derived from the processing approach that yields the lower error rate is then compared with an error threshold defining an unacceptable error level for the burst data. If the data is below the threshold, it is retained for post-processing analysis, where it is used to develop accurate inter-cell measurement data for the network.
