Abstract
A user equipment method and a user equipment in idle mode, for enabling the compilation of information concerning the radio coverage within a cell of a base station. The user equipment is configured to communicate with the base station. The method comprises the actions of detecting a loss of coverage and transmitting coverage information, to be received by the base station. A network node receives the coverage information from the idle mode user equipment. The received coverage information is identified as information related to the occurrence of lost coverage for the user equipment. Thereafter is the received coverage information logged and usable for adjusting the transmission power of the base station and/or for network planning purposes.
