Abstract

A system, base station and method are disclosed for detecting a radio network problem. For a handover failure occurs on a user equipment (UE), a first base station receives, problem information about the occurred handover failure from the UE, after a radio resource control (RRC) connection is reestablished or established between the UE and a cell controlled by the first base station. The first base station then transmits the received problem information to a second base station controlling a cell where the handover failure occurs. In this way, the network side can automatically identify and detect the handover failure. As such, the network can perform self-adjustment and optimization, therefore improving the network performance and satisfying use requirements of users.
