Abstract
A wireless communication device to facilitate attachment to a serving wireless access node, the wireless communication device comprises a wireless communication transceiver and a processing system. The wireless communication transceiver is configured to receive a list identifying approved wireless access nodes based on a quality of service level associated with the wireless communication device, and receive a request to report measurements of a plurality of neighboring wireless access nodes. The processing system is configured to process the list identifying the approved wireless access nodes with the plurality of neighboring wireless access nodes to determine a subset of the neighboring wireless access nodes included in the list of approved wireless access nodes, and perform radio frequency (RF) measurements on the subset of the neighboring wireless access nodes. The wireless communication transceiver is further configured to transmit a report of the RF measurements on the subset of the neighboring wireless access nodes.
