Specification

[DESCRIPTION] SPECIFICATION [TITLE OF INVENTION] RADIO COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, RADIO TERMINAL, RADIO NETWORK, RADIO COMMUNICATION METHOD AND PROGRAM [TECHNICAL FIELD] [0001] The present invention relates to a radio communication system, a radio terminal, a radio network, a radio communication method, and a program therefor. [BACKGROUND ART] [0002] It is being investigated in a 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project) to cause radio terminals to measure/report information conventionally collected by drive-tests or information similar hereto so as to reduce operation cost (OPEX) that is needed for the drive-tests (Drive-Test) to be performed by operators (Non-patent literature 1). The final goal of this investigation is to minimize execution of the drive-tests (Minimization of Drive-Tests: MDT. It is also called a substitute for the drive test (Drive Test Substitution)). In the feasibility study of the MDT, how the radio terminals are caused to measure the information and how the radio terminals are caused to report a log of the measurement results and the past measurement results are being discussed. Currently, the periodical reporting technique and the event triggered measurement reporting technique are specified. Additionally, what is herein called "the measurement" by the radio terminal also includes an operation of "detecting" some situations. [0003] In the periodical technique, a radio network (for example, a radio base station) previously notifies a measurement interval and/or a report interval to the radio terminal, and the radio terminal performs the measurement and/or the reporting according hereto. Herein, as the periodic measurement, there exist the periodical quality measurements of the downlink pilot signals (Periodical downlink pilot measurements). [0004] In the technology of the Non-patent literature 1, the radio terminal periodically performs the received quality measurement of the downlink pilot signals of serving cells (Periodical downlink pilot measurement), and periodically reports the measurement result. Herein, the so-called received quality measurement of the pilot signals is equivalent to measuring RSRP (Reference Signal Received Power), RSRQ (Reference Signal Received Quality), CPICH RSCP (Common Pilot channel Received Signal Code Power), CPICH Ec/No (Ec: received energy per chip, No: Noise power density), and the like. [0005] The details of the Non-patent literature 1 will be explained with 3 GPP LTE (Long Term Evolution) exemplified by referencing Fig. 20. [0006] The radio terminal (UE: User Equipment) notifies a function the radio terminal itself supports to the radio base station (eNB: enhanced Node B) (UE capability report). [0007] An upper station (EPC: Evolved Packet Core, for example, NM: Network Manager), out of the radio networks, notifies a measurement policy (Measurement policy) to the eNB (Policy indication), and the eNB gives an instruction for the measurement and the reporting to the UE according to the above policy (Measurement logging and reporting configuration). Herein, it is assumed that the measurement and the reporting are performed at an interval Tl and at an interval T2, respectively. [0008] The UE performs the received quality measurement of the downlink pilot signals (for example, the RSRP) and the positioning at the interval Tl, maintains the measurement and the measurement result as a log (Logging), and reports the above log to the eNB at the interval T2 (Measurement report). In addition, the eNB reports the report coming from the UE to the upper NW (log report). [0009] Hereinafter, likewise, the UE repeats a series of the operations of the measurement/positioning - the logging - the reporting. [0010] Herein, for detennining a lapse of the interval T1/T2, for example, a timer is used. Further, the UE finishes the above series of the operations when the UE is instructed to do so, for example, by the eNB. [0011] Additionally, in some cases, for not only a serving cell but also a neighboring cell, the received quality measurement of the downlink pilot signals is performed periodically. [0012] On the other hand, in the event trigger technique, the radio network (for example, the radio base station) previously notifies the condition, being a trigger for the measurement and/or the reporting, to the radio terminal, and the radio terminal performs the measurement and/or the reporting when the above condition is satisfied. Herein, the condition, being the trigger, includes, for example, a broadcast channel reception error (Broadcast Channel Failure), a paging channel reception error (Paging Channel Failure), the received quality of the serving cell becoming worse than a predetermined threshold (Serving Cell becomes worse than threshold), extra transmit power being less than a predetermined threshold (Transmit power headroom becomes less than threshold), a failure of a random access (Random access failure), and the like (Non-patent literature 2). Additionally, the radio terminal reports information of the time as well responding to a necessity when the trigger has occurred together with the measurement result. [0013] In addition, the radio terminal having a positioning function is instructed to perform the positioning as well periodically or a time point when the trigger has occurred, and to report location information. [0014] In the technology of the Non-patent literature 2, the radio terminal performs the measurement (and the positioning) when the event is triggered, stores the result of the measurement (and the positioning) as the log, and reports it when the event is triggered. Herein, it is assumed that the condition under which the trigger of the measurement occurs is the paging channel reception error (Paging Channel Failure), and the radio terminal performs the received quality measurement of the downlink pilot signals of the serving cell at this time. Further, it is assumed that the condition under which the trigger of the reporting occurs is a time point when a predetermined amount of the logs have been accumulated, and the radio terminal reports the log to the radio network at this time. [0015] The details of the technology of the Non-patent literature 2 will be explained with the 3 GPP LTE exemplified by referencing Fig 21. [0016] The UE notifies functions the UE itself supports to the eNB (UE capability report). [0017] The EPC (for example, NM) notifies a measurement policy (Measurement policy) to the eNB (Policy indication), and the eNB gives an instruction for the measurement and the reporting to the UE according to the above policy (Measurement logging and reporting configuration). Herein, it is assumed that the trigger of the measurement is the paging channel reception error, and the trigger of the reporting is a time point when the amount of the logs (a memory capacity of the terminal used for the logs) has reached a predetermined value. [0018] The UE periodically receives the paging channels, performs the received quality measurement (for example, the RSRP) of the downlink pilot signals of the serving cell and the positioning thereof according to the above instruction when the paging channel reception error (Paging Channel Failure) occurs, and maintains the measurement result and the positioning result together with the time of the occurrence of the paging channel reception error as the log (Logging). And, when the amount of the logs has reached a predetermined value, the UE reports the above logs to the eNB (Measurement report). In addition, the eNB reports the report coming from the UE to the upper NW (Log report). [0019] Hereinafter, likewise, the UE repeats a series of the operations of the measurement/positioning - the logging - the reporting. [0020] Herein, the UE finishes the above series of the operations when the UE is instructed to do so, for example, by the eNB. [0021] Additionally, in some cases, for not only the serving cell but also the neighboring cell, the received quality measurement of the downlink pilot signals when the trigger of the measurement occurs is performed periodically. [CITATION LIST] [NON-PATENT LITERATURE] [0022] NON-PTL 1: 3GPP TR36.805vl.2.0 (mtemet) NON-PTL 2: 3GPPR2-094291 (internet< http://www.3gpp.org/fqD/tsg_rar/WG2_RL2/TSGPv2_67/Docs/Pv2-094191.zip>) [SUMMARRY OF INVENTION] [TECHNICAL PROBLEM] [0023] In the above-described technologies, the radio terminal performs the measurement/the reporting as instructed by the radio network. However, the measurement/the reporting for the MDT is basically a support function that the radio network expects for the radio terminal, and it is also thinkable that the measurement/the reporting is an excessive operation from a viewpoint of the radio terminal. For this, the following points at issue are expected. [0024] When the radio terminal performs the periodical measurement/reporting like the case of the Non-patent literature 1, it always performs the measurement/the reporting at an indicated timing, whereby a battery is consumed due to transmitting the information that the above radio terminal originally does not need to transmit and a load on the terminal becomes large particularly when a remaining battery charge is few. Further, it will also be a problem that there is a possibility that reported information cannot be effectively utilized in a radio network side because a reliability of location information is low when a positioning error is large, and resultantly, an unnecessary load is inflicted on the radio terminal. [0025] Further, in a case of performing the measurement/the reporting when the event is triggered like the case of the Non-patent literature 2, for example, the radio terminal that stays in an environment in which the paging channel reception error more easily occur results in performing the measurement/the positioning and the reporting more frequently. For this, when the radio terminal of which a remaining battery charge is few, as described above, stays in such an environment, a load on the terminal becomes large. Further, the communication quality in the circumstance such that a paging channel reception error occurs is bad, and it will be a problem that a load on the terminal becomes large because a large radio resource is necessary for reporting a log. [0026] Thereupon, the present invention has been accomplished in consideration of the above-mentioned problems, and an object thereof is to provide a radio communication system, a radio terminal, a radio network, a radio communication method, and a program therefor capable of collecting information that the radio network side requires while alleviating a load on the terminal caused by the measurement/positioning and/or the reporting, and/or deleting the reporting of the information with a low necessity.

[0032] The present invention is a radio communication method, comprising: notifying a status related to at least one of collection and reporting of measurement information by a radio terminal to a radio network; and receiving said status, and controlling at least one of the collection of the measurement information and the reporting of said measurement information to the radio network by said radio terminal. [0033] The present invention is a radio network, comprising: configuration notifying means that notifies a radio terminal of configuration information related to at least one of collection of measurement information and reporting of said measurement information to a radio network by the radio terminal; and reconfiguring means that receives, from said radio terminal, a status related to at least one of the collection and the reporting of said measurement information by said radio terminal, and determines whether or not to reconfigure said configuration information.

[0038] Characteristics of this exemplary embodiment are that the radio terminal notifies a status of the radio terminal itself to the radio network, the radio network controls the measurement and/or the reporting of the measurement log, which corresponds to a log of measurement results, by the radio terminal, according to the above notified status. [0039] Herein, the so-called status is a status related to at least one of the measurement and the reporting of the measurement logs, which correspond to the logs of the measurement results, by the radio terminal, and a concept including a terminal situation of the radio terminal and a collection situation of the measurement logs, and the like. Additionally, the above status is briefly described as "a measurement status" in the following. Further, as the terminal situation of the radio terminal, there exist the remaining battery charge of the radio terminal (an absolute value of the remaining battery charge, a quantized value thereof, an identification number (ID No.) previously associated with the remaining battery charge, a memory capacity of the battery, and the like), location information of the radio terminal (GPS, Cell, TA: Tracking Area, information of the outdoors/indoors, or location information acquired by other location information detecting means (for example, OTDOA: Observed Time Difference Of Arrival Technique)), a communication quality (for example, RSRP, RSRQ, CPICH RSCP, and CPICH Ec/No), a moving velocity (speed) (an absolute value of the moving velocity, a quantized value thereof, an ED No. previously associated with the moving velocity, a pre-specified level of the moving velocity, and the like), received strength of a GPS radio wave, and the like. [0040] Further, as the collection situation of the measurement logs, there exist a sort of the measurement log (for example, a pre-specified ID No., a category, and the like), an amount of the measurement log (the number of times of the measurements, a memory usage amount of the radio terminal (UE memory usage), and the like), a summary of the measurement logs (for example, a sort of the measurement log, respective numbers of times of the measurements for the above sort of the measurement log, information of the time when the measurement has been performed, information of the location in which the measurement has been performed (GPS, Cell, TA: Tracking Area), information of the outdoors/indoors, and the like), the moving velocity, positioning performance information (a positioning error, a positioning accuracy and the like) and the like, but the collection situation is not limited hereto. [0041] Herein, it is thinkable that the information of the outdoors/indoors can be acquired from, for example, whether the received strength of the radio wave to be used for acquiring the location information such as the GPS radio wave is equal to or more than a predetermined value, or less than it, whether the radio terminal is connected to an in-house small-size base station that is called HNB (Home NodeB) or HeNB (Home eNodeB) (detectable with PCI: Physical Cell ID), and the like. Further, with the moving velocity, the case in which the moving velocity can be actually measured with an acceleration sensor etc. mounted, and the case in which the moving velocity is estimated based on the number (or frequency) of handovers or the number (or frequency) of cell re-selections are thinkable. [0042] Additionally, as a measurement (or detection) target for which the radio terminal stores the result as the measurement log, there exists the periodical quality measurement of the downlink pilot signals (Periodical downlink pilot measurements), the broadcast channel reception error (Broadcast Channel Failure), the paging channel reception error (Paging Channel Failure), the received quality of the serving cell becoming worse than a predetermined threshold (Serving Cell becomes worse than threshold), the extra transmit power being less than a predetermined threshold (Transmit power headroom becomes less than threshold), the failure of the random access (Random access (RA) failure), the radio link disconnection (Radio Link Failure: RLF), and the like. Further, with the case of the broadcast channel reception error (Broadcast Channel Failure), the paging channel reception error (Paging Channel Failure), the received quality of the serving cell becoming worse than a predetermined threshold (Serving Cell becomes worse than threshold), the extra transmit power being less than a predetermined threshold (Transmit power headroom becomes less than threshold), the failure of the random access (RA failure), and the radio link disconnection (RLF), it is also thinkable to acquire the communication quality (for example, the RSRP, the RSRQ, the CPICH RSCP, and the CPICH Ec/No) of the own cell (Serving cell) and/or the neighboring cells (Neighboring cell (s)) as well. In addition, for all items (or one part thereof) that the radio tenninal measures (or detects), it is also thmkable to log the location information and the time information together where the above measurement (or detection) is performed. Additionally, this is only example, and the application target of the present invention is not limited hereto. [0043] On the other hand, as the trigger of the radio terminal's performing the reporting of the measurement log, there exists an absolute time (Absolute time based), a request from the radio network (for example, the radio base station) (On demand), periodical expiration of the timer (Periodical timer based), a terminal memory usage amount (an amount of the logs) (UE memory usage based), the location of the terminal (Location based), a combination of the above-mentioned items (Combined triggers), and the like; however, the trigger is not limited hereto. [0044] Further, the radio terminal may finish an operation of the measurement and the reporting when a measurement duration or a report duration previously notified from the radio network, or the number of times of the measurements or the number of times of the reports is satisfied, or when an instruction is received from the radio network. [0045] Further, the so-called radio network is constituted of a core network (EPC: Evolved Packet Core or CN: Core Network), in the above radio networks, a base station controller (RNC: Radio Network Controller), and/or a radio base station (it is denoted as eNodeB, eNB, NodeB, NB, BTS, and the like). The core network includes an NM (Network Manager), and/or a DM (Device Manager), and/or an OMC (Operation and Maintenance Center) and the like; however the core network is not limited hereto. [0046] Additionally, in the following, the measurement or the detection, an acquisition operation of information that is executed accordingly hereto, and an operation in accordance therewith are described (defined) together as "a measurement" except for the case of particularly making the explanation in details for classification. Further, the measurement information, being information that the radio terminal acquires by use of the above broadly sensed "measurement" and stores, is defined as "a measurement log". Further, what is called the collection of the measurement information signifies the acquisition of the above measurement information, namely signifies an operation of the measurement and an operation of logging (maintaining) the information acquired by the above measurement [0047] Fig. 1 is a functional constitution view of this exemplary embodiment. [0048] As shown in Fig. 1, the radio communication system of this exemplary embodiment, which is a radio communication system that collects the information by causing the radio terminals to measure/report the information that the radio network requires, includes a radio terminal 1 (UE) and a radio network 2. [0049] The radio terminal 1 (UE) has a logging/reporting capability memory 11 (Logging/reporting capability memory), a terminal situation/log situation reporting function 12 (UE condition/logging status reporting function), a measuring & measurement result logging function 13 (Measurement/logging function), and a measurement reporting function 14 (Measurement reporting function). [0050] The radio network 2 has an OAM (Operation/Admmistration/Maintenance) policy & OAM requirement enforcement function 21 (OAM policy & requirement enforcement function) and a log storage function 22 (Log storage). [0051] In the radio communication system of this exemplary embodiment, the radio terminal 1 firstly performs a terminal capability report related to a logging capability and a reporting capability (UE capability report). The terminal capability report that is performed herein is a report of notifying a function that radio terminal 1 inherently includes (for example, existence or not of the measurement function of the communication quality and the GPS function, or detailed information related hereto). And, the radio network 2 references the above terminal capability report (UE capability report), decides the measurement method or the logging method of the measurement result of the above radio terminal 1 (Measurement and logging configuration), and the reporting method (Reporting configuration), and gives an instruction to the radio terminal 1. [0052] The radio terrninal 1 performs the measurement and logs the measurement result according to the instructed measurement method and logging method. Thereafter, the radio terminal 1 performs the reporting of the log of the measurement result (measurement log) to the radio network 2 according to the instructed reporting method. (Measurement log report). Additionally, as a measurement (or detection) target that the radio terminal 1 maintains as the log, there exist the periodical quality measurement of the downlink pilot signals (Periodical downlink pilot measurements), the broadcast channel reception error (Broadcast Channel Failure), the paging channel reception error (Paging Channel Failure), the received quality of the serving cell becomes worse than a predetermined threshold (Serving Cell becomes worse than threshold), the extra transmit power being less than a predetermined threshold (Transmit power headroom becomes less than threshold), the failure of the random access (Random access failure), the radio link disconnection (Radio Link Failure: RLF), and the like. [0053] In this exemplary embodiment, in addition, the radio terminal 1 reports the above-described measurement status (Measurement status) at a predetermined timing to the radio network 2 (Measurement status report). Additionally, now upon mentioning the timing at which the radio terminal performs the measurement status report (Measurement status report), the timing simultaneously with the terminal capability report (UE capability report) or the timing just after it, the timing at a time point when the measurement or the reporting is triggered, the timing at a time point when a predetermined event for reporting the measurement status has occurred, the timing previously indicated by the radio network, and the like are thinkable. Additionally, when reporting the measurement status at a time point when the reporting is triggered (Measurement status report), the radio terminal 1 may perform the reporting of the measurement status (Measurement status report) before performing the measurement log report (Measurement log report) in some cases, or may perform the reporting of the measurement status (Measurement status report) and the measurement log report (Measurement log report) simultaneously. [0054] Additionally, the predetermined event for reporting the measurement status could be identical to an event for reporting the measurement log in some cases, or may be configured independently. [0055] However, the trigger for performing the measurement status report (Measurement status report) is not limited hereto. For example, as a condition, being the trigger of the radio terminal's notifying the measurement status (Measurement status report), the absolute time (Absolute time based), the request from the radio network (On demand), the periodical expiration of the timer (Periodical timer based), a terminal memory usage amount (an amount of the logs) (UE memory usage based), the location of the terminal (Location based), a combination thereof (Combined triggers), and the like are thinkable. Additionally, at the moment that the radio network 2 notifies an instruction for configuring the measurement method or the logging method of the measurement result of the radio terminal 1 (Measurement and logging configuration) and an instruction for configuring the reporting method (Reporting configuration), and the like, these conditions under which the trigger occurs may be incorporated into these notifications in some cases, or the above conditions may be notified with the other methods in some cases. Further, the condition under which the trigger occurs may be previously configured for the radio terminal. [0056] The radio network 2 gives an instruction for reconfiguring the measurement method and the logging method in the radio terminal 1 (Measurement and logging re-configuration), and/or an instruction for reconfiguring the reporting method of the radio terminal 1 (Reporting re¬configuration) responding to a necessity based on the reported measurement status (Measurement status report) so that a load of the measurement or the reporting on the radio terminal 1 does not become excessive. That is, the measurement status is transmitted to the radio network 2 for a purpose of reconfiguring the configuration instruction (Measurement and logging configuration) of the above-described measurement method or logging method of the measurement result, the configuration instruction of the reporting method (Reporting configuration), and the like. Specifically, the measurement status is transmitted to the radio network 2 for a purpose of causing the radio network 2 to determine whether or not the reconfiguration of the configuration instruction of the measurement method or the logging method of the measurement result (Measurement and logging configuration), the configuration instruction of the reporting method (Reporting configuration), and the like is needed. In such a manner, the radio terminal 1 transmits the measurement status to the radio network 2, thereby enabling the radio network 2 to take into consideration a situation of the radio terminal and a situation related to the information collection by the radio terminal. [0057] Additionally, it is thinkable that the above reconfiguration instruction includes any instruction of a change of at least one value of parameters notified by the above configuration instruction, an addition of new parameters not notified by the above configuration instruction, and an abort of the measurement and/or the reporting. Or, the notification of the new messages related to the instruction notified by the above configuration instruction and the like are also thinkable. [0058] This makes it possible to collect the information that the radio network side requires while alleviating a load on the terminal caused by the measurement, the logging of the above measurement result and/or the reporting, and/or deleting the reporting of the information with a low necessity. [0059] Additionally, the above-described message to be transmitted from the radio terminal to the radio network, and the above-described message to be transmitted from the radio network to the radio terminal can be realized with RRC (Radio Resource Control) signaling and MAC (Medium Access Control) signaling; however the signaling is not limited hereto. [0060] Herein, examples as described below are thinkable as a relationship between the content of the measurement status and a control method of the measurement and/or the reporting, and these methods makes it possible to collect the information that the radio network side requires while alleviating a load on the terminal. [0061] • In a case of the measurement status = the remaining battery charge, the interval of the measurement/reporting is made long in the periodical measurement/reporting when the remaining battery charge is few. Or, the measurement/reporting is not allowed until the remaining battery charge reaches a predetermined threshold or more. On the other hand, an occurrence of the reporting trigger is made unlikely in the measurement/reporting by the event trigger when the remaining battery charge is few. Or, the reporting is not allowed until the remaining battery charge reaches a predetermined threshold or more. The method of aborting the measurement unless the remaining battery charge reaches a predetermined threshold or more after a lapse of a predetermined period, and causing the radio terminal to clear the measurement log, which is common to both of the periodical measurement/reporting and the measurement/reporting by the event trigger, is also thinkable. [0062] • In a case of the measurement status = the location information, the interval of the measurement/reporting is made long in the periodical measurement/reporting when the UE stays outsides an area where radio network side requires the information. The method of making an occurrence of the measurement trigger and/or the reporting trigger unlikely in the measurement/reporting by the event trigger when the UE stays outsides an area where radio network side requires the information, and the like are thinkable. [0063] • In a case of the measurement status = the communication quality, the interval of the measurement/reporting is made short in the periodical measurement/reporting when the communication quality is low. The method of facilitating an occurrence of the trigger of the measurement/reporting in the measurement/reporting by the event trigger when the communication quality is low, and the like are thinkable. [0064] ■ In a case of the measurement status = a moving velocity, the interval of the measurement/reporting is made long in the periodical measurement/reporting when the moving velocity is slow. The method of making an occurrence of the trigger of the measurement/reporting unlikely in the measurement/reporting by the event trigger when the moving velocity is slow and the like are thinkable. [0065] • In a case of the measurement status = the received strength of the GPS radio wave, the interval of the measurement/reporting is made long in the periodical measurement/reporting when the received strength is weak. The method of making an occurrence of the trigger of the measurement/reporting unlikely in the measurement/reporting by the event trigger when the received strength is weak, and the like are thinkable. [0066] • In a case of the measurement status = a sort of the log, the method of causing the radio terminal to report only the log of a sort that the radio network side requires at that time point (the log with a high priority), which is common to both of the periodical measurement/reporting and the measurement/reporting by the event trigger, is thinkable.

[0068] • In a case of the measurement status = a summary of the logs, the method of causing the radio terminal to report only the log of a sort with a high priority acquired at a specific location and a specific point in time, which is common to both of the periodical measurement/reporting and the measurement/reporting by the event trigger, is thinkable. [0069] • In a case of the measurement status = the positioning error (positioning accuracy), the interval of the measurement/reporting is made long in the periodical measurement/reporting when the error is large (the accuracy is low). The method of making an occurrence of the measurement/reporting trigger unlikely in the measurement/reporting by the event trigger when the error is large (the accuracy is low), and the like are triinkable. [0070] In a case of the measurement status = a sort of the log and the remaining battery charge, the interval of the measurement/report of the log of a sort with a low priority is made long in the periodical measurement/reporting when the remaining battery charge is few. The method of causing the radio terminal to report only the log of a sort with a high priority in the measurement/reporting by the event trigger when the remaining battery charge is few, and the like are thinkable. [0071] However, the above-mentioned controls are only an example, and the control that is enabled by using the present invention is not limited hereto. [0072] Specific exemplary embodiments will be explained below. The second exemplary embodiment will be explained. The case of supposing a system of the 3 GPP LTE (Long Term Evolution) will be explained in the second exemplary embodiment. [0077] Fig. 3 is a constitution view of the radio communication system in the second exemplary embodiment. [0078] An NM (Network Manager) 32 notifies a policy of the measurement, the logging of the measurement result, and the reporting of the above logging by the terminal to a radio base station (eNB) 31 (Policy indication). As a target of this policy, for example, the minimization of the drive test (MDT: Minimization of Drive Test Or it is also called a substitute for the drive test (Drive Test Substitution)) and the like are thinkable. [0079] The radio base station (eNB) 31 notifies the configuration information including the measurement method, the logging method, and the reporting method (Measurement, logging and reporting configuration) to the radio terminal (UE) 30 based on a policy of the measurement, the logging of the measurement result, and the reporting of the above logging (Policy indication). [0080] The radio terminal (UE) 30 reports the log of the measurement result (measurement log) and/or the measurement status to the radio base station (eNB) 31 (Measurement status report). [0081] The radio base station (eNB) 31 reports all the measurement logs reported from the radio terminal (UE) 30, or one part of the above measurement logs to an upper NM 32 (log report). [0082] Next, a constitution of the radio terminal (UE) 30 will be explained. Fig. 4 is a block diagram of the radio terminal (UE) 30. [0083] A transmitter Sf or a receiver ^f. performs the transmission/reception of signals to/from the radio base station. [0084] A signal processor 303 performs generation of transmission signals/demodulation of reception signals. [0085] A communication controller 305 gives an instruction for generating the transmission signals and recovering the information to the signal processor 303. [0086] A terminal capability storage unit 308 is a part for storing the capability etc. related to the measurement, the positioning, and the reporting of the above terminal, and the capability etc. is appropriately read out responding to a necessity. [0087] A measurement unit 304 measures or detects the target indicated by the radio base station. [0088] A storage unit 307 stores the information measured or detected by the measurement unit 304, and the above information is read out according to a necessity. [0089] A positioning unit 309 performs the positioning at the moment that the measurement unit 304 has measured the target indicated by the radio base station 31. Herein, the positioning includes not only the location detection by the GPS etc. but also the reading-out of the information of the area (cell, TA and the like) in which the radio terminal stays, the acquisition of the information as to whether the terminal stays outdoors or indoors, the detection of the location information by the location information acquiring method other than it (for example, an OTDOA technique), and the like. [0090] A reporting controller 306 gives an instruction for reporting the stored measurement information and location information to the radio base station 31 when the condition indicated by the radio base station 31 or the pre-specified condition is satisfied. [0091] Continuously, a constitution of the radio base station (eNB) 31 will be explained. Fig. 5 is a block diagram of the radio base station (eNB) 31. [0092] A receiver d or a transmitter flB performs the transmission/reception of signals to/from the radio terminal. [0093] A signal processor 403 performs generation of transmission signals/demodulation of reception signals. [0094] A communication controller 405 gives an instruction for generating the transmission signals and recovering the information, and the like to the signal processor. [0095] A terminal manager 407 separately manages respective situations of a plurality of the radio terminals. [0096] An interface 406 performs the transmission/reception of the information to/from an upper station NM 32. [0097] A terminal reporting storage unit 404 is a part for storing the measurement information etc. reported from the radio terminal 30, and the stored measurement information and the like are reported to the upper station NM 32 via the interface 406 responding a necessity. [0098] A measurement/reporting controller 408 which is a part for controlling the measurement/the reporting by the radio terminal based on the policy to be indicated by the upper station NM, furthermore takes the control of the measurement/reporting in consideration of the reporting of the terminal situation and the collection situation from the radio terminal 30 in this exemplary embodiment. [0099] Continuously, a constitution of the NM 32 will be explained. Fig. 6 is a block diagram of theNM32. [0100] An OAM manager 501 performs an operation/adrninistration/maintenance of an entirety of the radio network. [0101] A cornrmnrication controller 502 performs a control of txansmitting/receiving the information to/from other radio network nodes, for example, the radio base station, via the interface. [0102] A terminal measurement manager 504 decides the information that needs to be collected, decides a policy for the above collection, and notifies it to the radio base station via an interface 503. [0103] A terminal reporting storage unit 505 stores the measurement information reported from the radio terminal, and the above measurement information is read out according to a necessity. The read-out measurement information (measurement log) is used for the optimization of the radio network and the like. [0104] Next, an operation of the radio system constituted as described above will be explained. [0105] Fig. 7 is a sequence diagram for explaining a specific operation of the second exemplary embodiment In this exemplary embodiment, it is assumed that the measurement/the reporting by the radio terminal (UE) 30 is periodically performed based on the timer to be notified from the radio base station (eNB) 31. [0106] Additionally, in the following explanation, it is assumed that the measurement status report (Measurement status report) is triggered at a timing in which the measurement log report is triggered, namely, at a time point when the timer for reporting the measurement log expires, and an example is explained of making the interval of the measurement and/or the report long when the remaining battery charge of the radio terminal (UE) 30 is less than a predetermined value. [0107] At first, the radio terminal (UE) 30 performs the terminal capability report (UE capability report) (Step 100). [0108] The NM 32 notifies the measurement policy (Measurement policy) to the radio base station (eNB) 31 (Policy indication) (Step 101). [0109] The radio base station (eNB) 31 gives an instruction for configuring the measurement method and the reporting method (Measurement logging and reporting configuration) to the radio terminal (UE) 30 according to the above policy (Step 102). At this time, the radio base station (eNB) 31 sends a timer value (Timer value) of a measurement interval Tm (Msmnt interval Tm) at which the measurement is performed, and a timer value (Timer value) of a report interval Tr (Report interval Tr) at which the log is reported. [0110] The radio terminal (UE) 30 performs the measurement at the measurement interval Tm (Msmnt interval Tm) based on the notified timer value and logs the measurement result according to the instructed measurement method and the reporting method (Measurement logging) (Step 103). As a timing in which the timer starts, the timing just after notification from the radio base station (eNB) 31 (Step 102), the timing after a lapse of a predetermined period since the above notification, and the like are thinkable. [0111] The radio terminal (UE) 30 reports the remaining battery charge of its own radio terminal (Step 105) as the measurement status report (Measurement status report) when the timer of the report interval Tr (Report interval) expires (Step 104). And, the radio terminal (UE) 30 may notify a transmission buffer situation (Buffer status) together therewith. [0112] The radio base station (eNB) 31 determines whether the remaining battery charge of the radio terminal (UE) 30 is equal to a predetermined threshold or more (Re-config decision) based on the measurement status report (Measurement status report) (Step 106). [0113] When the remaining battery charge of the radio terminal (UE) 30 is equal to a predetermined threshold or more, the radio base station (eNB) 31 keeps the measurement interval Tm (Msmnt interval Tm) and the report interval Tr (Report interval Tr) as they are. On the other hand, when the remaining battery charge of the radio terminal (UE) 30 is less than the predetermined threshold, the radio base station (eNB) 31 decides a new measurement interval Tm' (Msmnt interval Tm'>Tm) and a new report interval Tr' (Report interval Tr' >Tr) that are intervals longer than the measurement interval Tm (Msmnt interval Tm) and the report interval Tr (Report interval Tr), respectively. And, the radio base station (eNB) 31 notifies an instruction for reconfiguring these intervals (Measurement logging and reporting reconfiguration) and a radio resource (UL grant) with which the logged measurement result is reported (Step 107). [0114] The radio terminal (UE) 30 transmits the measurement log report to the radio base station (eNB) 31 with the received radio resource (Measurement log report) (Step 108). And, the radio base station (eNB) 31 transmits the received measurement logs to the NM 32 (Log report) (Step 109). [0115] On the other hand, when receiving the reconfiguration notification, the radio terminal (UE) 30 reconfigures the notified new measurement interval Tm' (Msmnt interval Tm') and report interval Tr' (Report interval Tr'), and performs the measurement and the reporting at these intervals thereafter (Step 110). [0116] This makes it possible to cause the radio terminal to perform the measurement and the reporting without (excessively) increasing a load on the radio terminal. [0117] Additionally, while it was assumed that the trigger of the measurement status report (Measurement status report) was a timing in which the measurement log report was triggered in the above-described explanation, the above trigger is not limited hereto. For example, the timing of the measurement status report (Measurement status report) may be configured independently depending on the periodical technique, the technique of the event trigger, and the like. In addition, in a case of the event trigger, the event could be identical to an event used for reporting the measurement log in some cases, or could be different in some cases. [0118] Further, while the measurement log report was performed after the measurement status report in the above-described explanation, the measurement log report may be partially performed simultaneously with the measurement status report. [0119] In addition, while an example in which the measurement log report (Measurement log report) was performed periodically was explained in the above-described explanation, in a case in which the measurement log report is performed when the event is triggered, an occurrence of a trigger of the measurement log report (Measurement log report) is made unlikely if the remaining battery charge is few. Or, a control is taken in such a manner that the measurement log report (Measurement log report) is not allowed until the remaining quantity of the battery has reached a predetermined threshold or more. Further, a control can be taken in such a manner that the radio terminal is caused to abort the measurement and to clear the measurement log unless the remaining battery charge reaches a predetermined threshold or more after a lapse of a predetermined period. [0120] Additionally, in Fig. 7, the timing at which the NM 32 notifies (Policy indication) the measurement policy (Measurement policy) to the radio base station (eNB) 31 is a timing after receiving the terminal capability report (UE capability report); however, the timing is not limited hereto, and other timings such as a timing prior to the reception of the terminal capability report (UE capability report) may be used. Further, it is enough for the radio base station (eNB) 31 to previously maintain the measurement policy (Measurement policy), and it is not indispensable that the NM 32 notifies (Policy indication) the measurement policy (Measurement policy) when the radio base station (eNB) 31 maintains the measurement policy. [0121] Fig. 8 is another sequence diagram for explaining a specific operation of the second exemplary embodiment. In this exemplary embodiment, similarly to an example of Fig. 7, it is assumed that the measurement/the reporting by the radio terminal (UE) 30 is periodically performed based on the timer to be notified from the radio base station (eNB) 31. Further, it is assumed that the measurement status report (Measurement status report) is triggered at a timing in which the measurement log report is triggered, namely, at a time point when the timer for reporting the measurement log has expired. [0122] A difference with an example of Fig. 7 lies in a point that, when the remaining battery charge of the radio terminal (UE) 30 is less than a predetermined value, the radio base station (eNB) lets the radio terminal (UE) 30 abort the measurement and the reporting. [0123] Step 100 to 105, being the operations by the NM 32, the radio base station (eNB) 31, and radio terminal (UE) 30, respectively, are similar to those of Fig. 7. When the radio base station (eNB) 31, after receiving the measurement status report (Measurement status report), recognizes that the remaining battery charge of the above radio terminal (UE) 30 is less than a predetermined value, it decides to let the radio terminal (UE) 30 abort the measurement and the reporting (Re-config decision) (Step 111), and performs the measurement abort notification (Measurement cancel) (Step 112). When the radio terminal (UE) 30 receives the measurement abort notification, it clears the configured measurement method and reporting method, and aborts the measurement and the reporting (Clear measurement configuration) (Step 113). [0124] Additionally, the radio base station (eNB) 31 may let the radio terminal (UE) 30 abort only the measurement, and report the measurement logs that the radio terminal (UE) 30 has already stored, and, in this case, the radio terminal (UE) 30 aborts the measurement and the reporting after reporting only the above measurement logs that the radio terminal (UE) 30 has already-stored. [0125] Additionally, while also in Fig. 8, similarly to Fig. 7, the timing at which the NM 32 notifies the measurement policy (Measurement policy) to the radio base station (eNB) 31 (Policy indication) is a timing after receiving the terminal capability report (UE capability report), the timing is not limited hereto, and other timings such as a timing prior to receiving the terminal capability report (UE capability report) may be used. Further, it is enough for the radio base station (eNB) 31 to previously maintain the measurement policy (Measurement policy), and it is not indispensable that the NM 32 notifies (Policy indication) the measurement policy (Measurement policy) when the radio base station (eNB) 31 maintains the measurement policy. [0126] Next, an operation of the radio terminal (UE) will be explained. [0127] Fig. 9 is an operational flowchart of the radio terminal (UE) 30. [0128] At first, the radio terminal (UE) 30 receives the configuration of the measurement method and the reporting method (Measurement logging and reporting configuration) (Step 200). [0129] The radio terminal (UE) 30 starts the measurement timer with the timer value of the notified measurement interval Tm (Msmnt interval Tm), and starts the reporting timer with the notified report interval Tr (Report interval Tr) (Step 201). [0130] When the measurement timer has expired (Measurement timer expired?) (Step 202), the radio terminal (UE) 30 performs the measurement and the positioning (Perform measurement and localization) and restarts the measurement timer (Restart measurement timer) (Step 203). [0131] Continuously, when the reporting timer has expired (Reporting timer expired?) (Step 204), the radio terminal (UE) 30 reports the remaining battery charge of its own terminal (Report remaining battery charge information) as the measurement status (Measurement status report), reports the buffer situation as well (Send buffer status report), and starts the reporting timer (Restart reporting timer) (Step 205). [0132] The radio terminal (UE) 30 performs the reporting of the log of the measurement result (measurement log) (Report measurement log) (Step 207) when the reporting of the log of the measurement result (measurement log) is requested by the radio network side (Report requested by NW?) (Step 206). When the reporting of the log of the measurement result (measurement log) is not requested (for example, receiving the abort notification, not receiving the report request even after a lapse of a certain period of time since the measurement status report, and the like), the radio terminal (UE) 30 aborts the measurement. [0133] When the reconfiguration of the timer is requested (Step 208), the radio terminal (UE) 30 performs the reconfiguration of the measurement interval and the report interval (Reconfiguration and restart measurement timer and reporting timer) (step 209). [0134] Next, an operation of the radio base station (eNB) 31 will be explained. Fig. 10 is an operational flowchart of the radio base station (eNB) 31. [0135] At first, the radio base station (eNB) 31 notifies the configuration of the measurement method and the reporting method (Measurement logging and reporting configuration) (Step 300). [0136] When the remaining battery charge and the buffer situation are reported as the measurement status (Measurement status report) from the radio terminal (UE) 30 (Remaining battery charge and buffer status reported?) (Step 301), the radio base station (eNB) 31 determines whether to abort the measurement request for the radio terminal (UE) 30 (Cancel measurement request?) (Step 302). When aborting the measurement request, the radio base station (eNB) 31 transmits a message for aborting the measurement (Send measurement cancel message) (Step 303). [0137] On the other hand, when not letting the radio terminal (UE) 30 abort the measurement, the radio base station (eNB) 31 determines whether or not the reconfiguration of the measurement and the reporting of the radio terrninal (UE) 30 is needed (Reconfiguration needed?) (Step 304). When it is not needed, the radio base station (eNB) 31 transmits information of the uplink radio resources (UL grant) for reporting the measurement log (Send UL grant) (Step 307). [0138] On the other hand, the radio base station (eNB) 31 reconfigures the timer value of the measurement timer or the reporting timer (Update measurement and/or reporting timer configuration) when the reconfiguration of the measurement and the reporting of the radio terminal (UE) 30 is needed (Step 306). And, the radio base station (eNB) 31 transmits the timer value of the reconfigured measurement timer or the reporting timer, and the information of the uplink radio resource for reporting the measurement log to the radio terminal (UE) (Send reconfiguration message and UL grant) (Step 306). [0139] Additionally, with regard to "Measurement cancel message" in the example of the sequence of this exemplary embodiment, both of the case of aborting only the measurement, and the case of aborting the measurement and the reporting are thinkable. Further, the case of aborting only the reporting, different from those cases, is also thinkable (for example, Log report cancel message). Further, while the case of simultaneously reconfiguring both of the measurement interval and the report interval was expected, only one of them may be reconfigured. Tm) and a new report interval Tr' (Report interval Tr' > Tr), being intervals longer than the measurement interval Tm (Msmnt interval Tm) and the report interval Tr (Report interval Tr), respectively, and reconfigures them when the remaining battery charge of the radio terminal (UE) 30 is less than the predetermined threshold. Or, the radio base station (eNB) 31 may reconfigure the measurement interval and/or the report interval so that each of them is made longer a little (for example, Tm' > Tm" > Tm, Tr' > Tr" > Tr) by taking a request for the reconfiguration by the radio terminal (UE) 30 into consideration even though the remaining battery charge is a predetermined threshold or more. And, the radio base station (eNB) 31 notifies an instruction for the reconfiguration (Measurement logging and reporting reconfiguration) and the radio resource (UL grant) with which the logged measurement result is reported (Step 1007). [0194] The radio terminal (UE) 30 transmits the measurement log report (Measurement log report) to the radio base station (eNB) 31 with the received radio resource (Step 1008). And, the radio base station (eNB) 31 transmits the received measurement log report to the NM 32 (Log report) (Step 1009). [0195] On the other hand, when receiving the reconfiguration notification, the radio terminal (UE) 30 reconfigures the notified new measurement interval Tm' (Msmnt interval Tm') and report interval Tr' (Report interval Tr'), and performs the measurement and the reporting at these intervals thereafter (Step 1100). [0196] This makes it possible to cause the radio terminal to perform the measurement and the reporting without (excessively) increasing a load on the radio terminal. Herein, as the request for the reconfiguration by the radio terminal, a request for shifting the reporting timing so as to perform the reporting after a lapse of a certain period of time, a request for performing the reporting after the communication situation has improved, and the like in addition to the request for making the intervals of the measurement and/or the reporting long as shown in this exemplary embodiment are thinkable. [0197] Additionally, while the trigger of the measurement status report (Measurement status report) was explained as a timing in which the measurement log report was triggered in the above-described explanation, the above trigger is not limited hereto. For example, the riming of the measurement status report (Measurement status report) may be configured independently depending on the periodical technique, the technique of the event trigger, and the like. In addition, in a case of the event trigger, the event could be identical to an event used for reporting the measurement log in some cases, or could be different in some cases. [0198] Further, also in this exemplary embodiment, similarly to the second exemplary embodiment, the timing at which the NM 32 notifies the measurement policy (Measurement policy) to the radio base station (eNB) 31 (Policy indication) is a timing after receiving the terminal capability report (UE capability report); however, the timing is not limited hereto, and other timings such as a timing prior to the reception of the terminal capability report (UE capability report) may be used. Further, it is enough for the radio base station (eNB) 31 to previously maintain the measurement policy (Measurement policy), and it is not indispensable that the NM 32 notifies (Policy indication) the measurement policy (Measurement policy) when the radio base station (eNB) 31 maintains the measurement policy.
