Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for acquiring radio measurements in a mobile communication system. In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, the method comprises the steps of.—within a serving cell (A) operated by a radio access node (eNBA) and serving a particular user equipment (UEX), sending measurement control information (meas_ctrl_info) from said radio access node to said particular user equipment whereby said particular user equipment is configured to perform radio measurements,—within a further serving cell (B) operated by a further radio access node (eNBB) and subsequently serving said particular user equipment, sending a measurement report (meas_report) from said particular user equipment to said further radio access node comprising measurement data (meas_data) as configured by said serving cell and a cell identifier (PCIA) of said serving cell,—transferring said measurement data from said further radio access node back to said radio access node. The present invention also relates to a user equipment and to a radio access node operable to form part of a mobile communication system.
