Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention provide an MDT control method, system, and network element device. The network element device acquires an MDT PLMN list, where the MDT PLMN List includes at least two PLMN identities, and UEs in at least two PLMNs corresponding to the at least two PLMN identities can perform MDT in the at least two PLMNs; when a first UE accesses a current PLMN, the network element device acquires and determines that a user intention of the first UE is to permit performing the MDT; the network element device judges whether the MDT PLMN List includes an HPLMN identity or an EHPLMN identity of the first UE; and when the MDT PLMN List includes the HPLMN identity or EHPLMN identity of the first UE, the network element device instructs the first UE to perform the MDT measurements.
