Specification

DESCRIPTION RADIO COMMUNICATION SYSTEM AND METHOD, RADIO TERMINAL, RADIO BASE STATION, AND OPERATION ADMINISTRATION AND MAINTENANCE SERVER DEVICE TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] [Cross-References to Related Applications] The present application claims priority from Japanese Patent Application No. JP201 0-224388 (filed on October 1, 2010), the content of which is hereby incorporated in its entirety by reference into this specification. The present invention relates to a communication system, and in particular to a preferable system, method, and device, to be applied to a system that adjusts a radio parameter or the like, based on measurement performed on a radio terminal side. BACKGROUND ART [0002] Radio coverage information is important in network planning, network optimization, optimization of radio resource management (Radio Resource Management: RRM) parameters and the like (Non Patent Literature 1) and a drive-test is performed by an operator in order to detect, coverage problems within a network, such as a coverage hole, pilot pollution and the like. In the 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project), in order to reduce operation expenditure (OPEX) incurred in a drive-test by an operator, utilization of a radio terminal (User Equipment: UE) for measurement and report of such information that has been collected by the drive-test or information similar thereto is under study (Non Patent Literature 1). [0003] An ultimate object of the abovementioned study is the minimization of execution of the drive-tests (Minimization of Drive-Tests: abbreviated as "MDT"). In the MDT studies, the following are being discussed: how a radio terminal is made to perform measurement, and how a radio terminal is made to report a log of results of measurement or of past measurement results; where "measurement" includes not only measurement of channel quality, but also operations of "detecting" a certain specific situation, such as a radio coverage problem. [0004] A radio network to which a radio terminal (UE) makes a report includes an (E-)UTRAN base station ((e)Node B), or an UTRAN base station control station (Radio Network Controller: RNC), or the like. An E-UTRAN base station eNB includes some functions of an RNC that manages radio resources and a base station NodeB that terminates a radio interface in an UTRAN. An E-UTRAN eNodeB or an UTRAN NodeB and RNC are denoted as "eNB/RNC" in the present specification. (E-)UTRAN: (Evolved-)UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System ) Terrestrial radio Access Network) eNode B: evolved Node B (eNB) [0005] At present (at the time of filing the present application), in one measurement mode specified in the specification of Non Patent Literature 2, there is a method (Logged MDT) in which a radio terminal (UE) is made to perform measurement while in an idle mode and is made to report a measurement result to a radio network while in an active mode. In the following, as a premise for understanding of the present invention, an outline of Logged MDT is described, based on the specification of Non Patent Literature 2 and the like. [0006] The idle mode is a power supply ON mode such as when the radio terminal (UE) is in a standby mode or the like, and is referred to as a mode in which an RRC (Radio Resource Control) connection is not established (Non Patent Literature 8). The idle mode indicates RRC_IDLE (Radio Resource Control IDLE) in LTE (Long Term Evolution) and UTRAN IDLE in UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System). When the radio terminal (UE) is in the idle mode, management as to in which serving cell the radio terminal (UE) is, is not performed. In LTE, management is performed as to in which Tracking Area (TA) the radio terminal (UE) camps (the TA is managed by an MME (Mobility Management Entity) or the like), and in UMTS, management is performed as to in which Location Area (LA) or Routing Area (RA) the radio terminal (UE) camps (the LA or RA is managed by an MSC (Mobile Switching Center) /VLR (Visitor Location Register)). It is to be noted that that in 3GPP, UMTS a CELL_PCH or URAPCH state may be considered a target for a Logged MDT. The following describes Logged MDT focusing on an idle mode, but the basic situation is similar also for CELLPCH or URAPCH. [0007] A radio base station /base station control station (eNB/RNC) of an (E-)UTRAN instructs a radio terminal (UE) in an active mode to execute measurement in an idle mode and to record measurement results (logging). That is, the radio base station /base station control station (eNB/RNC) of an (E-)UTRAN transmits an Idle MDT configuration message including a configuration parameter of a Logged MDT executed by a radio terminal (UE) in an idle mode to the radio terminal (UE) (Non Patent Literature 2). (This is a general term for UMTS/LTE, and in case of focusing on LTE, may be also called "Idle Logging Configuration message"). [0008] After transitioning from an active mode to an idle mode, the radio terminal (UE) executes measurement and logging in the idle mode, in accordance with an instruction from the (E-)UTRAN. Here, a cell that is a target for measurement is basically the same as a UE in a normal idle mode. That is, measurement in a Logged MDT follows the principle of measurement in an idle mode of a radio terminal (UE) (Non Patent Literature 4, 5). [0009] Basically, a target for measurement is: - a cell included in a neighboring cell list, - a cell besides a neighboring cell list and detected by a UE (a detected cell). [0010] A non measurement target is: - a cell in a black list, - a CSG (Closed Subscriber Group) cell when "PCI/PSC split" is applied to distinguish a CSG cell and an Open cell, by physical cell identification information (PCI/PSC) (applicable to a radio terminal (UE) that is a non CSG member, not having functionality/authority belonging to a CSG cell). It is to be noted that the black list is a list of cells that is used to prevent the radio terminal from performing measurement (quality measurement) of a specific neighboring cell in the list. A CSG cell restricts connections to a radio terminal (UE) of a specific group, such as the owner of a femto base station (Femto (e)NB or Home (e)NB) or its family, for example. Therefore, an open cell is a cell that all UEs of an operator can use, only specific radio terminals (UEs) can use CSG, and a hybrid cells is a mixture of open and CSG cells. [0011] It is under study that in case of a radio terminal (UE) being camped in a coverage hole, the radio terminal (UE) performs logging as "Out Of Service" (OOS) (outside of operation area), instead of logging measurement results of a serving cell or neighboring cell (Non Patent Literature 3). [0012] On the other hand, it is also under study that in case of a radio terminal (UE) being camped in a coverage hole, the radio terminal (UE) continues MDT measurement and Logging only in a specific time-period (for example, while a terminal is in a "camped normally" sfate) and suspends MDT measurement and Logging, in case of the radio terminal remaining camped in a coverage hole even after the specific time period has elapsed (for example, while the terminal is in an "any cell selection" or "camped on any cell" state) (Non Patent Literature 2). In a case where when the radio terminal returns again to a "camped normally" state, an Idle MDT Configuration is valid, the radio terminal restarts MDT measurement and Logging. [0013] Here, a coverage hole is an area in which SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio) or SINR (Signal to Interference and Noise Ratio) of a serving cell or a neighboring cell for which serving (connection, also referred to as "establishment of a radio link") is allowed in order to perform a predetermined service, is less than a preset value necessary for maintaining basic service (establishing an SRB (Signaling radio Bearer), and acquiring information to be sent by DL common channels (downlink common channels)). Here, the SRB is a bearer for carrying an RRC (Radio Resource Control) message, which is a control message. [0014] As to a point in time when a radio terminal (UE) determines a coverage hole, the following may be cited as examples: - a case where it is not possible to select a cell in which the radio terminal (UE) is allowed to be served in order to perform a predetermined service during when the radio terminal (UE) is in a "camped normally" state (broadcast (or paging) information could not be acquired), - a case where it is not possible to select a cell in which the radio terminal (UE) is allowed to be served during when the radio terminal (UE) is in an "any cell selection" state, - a case where it is not possible to select a cell in which the radio terminal (UE) is allowed to be served in order to perform a predetermined service during when the radio terminal (UE) is in a "camped on any cell" state. In the present specification, it is assumed as an example that a coverage hole is determined in a case where it is not possible to select a cell in which a radio terminal (UE) is allowed to be served in order to perform a predetermined service during when the radio terminal (UE) is in a "camped normally" state. [0015] A cell /radio base station in which a terminal is allowed to establish a radio link with the radio base station for performing a predetermined service, is called an allowed cell /radio base station in the present specification. Conversely, a cell /radio base station in which a terminal is not allowed to establish a radio link with the radio base station for performing a predetermined service, but is allowed to be served only for receiving a restricted service, and/or, a cell /radio base station in which a terminal is inhibited from being served, is called a "not allowed cell /radio base station" in the present specification. The latter, for example, corresponds to a CSG cell for a non-member. [0016] A radio terminal (UE) for which a Logged MDT is configured performs measurement in an idle mode, notifies an (E-)UTRAN that the radio terminal (UE) holds a log, at a point in time when the radio terminal (UE) goes into an active mode and establishes an RRC connection, and responsive to an instruction to report the log from the (E-)UTRAN, makes a report. [0017] A radio terminal (UE), which is made from a radio network side to execute MDT measurement and logging in an idle mode, by using 1 bit in a connection complete (RRC_CONNECTION Setup Complete) message, for example, at a time of establishment of an RRC connection in a transition to an RRCCONNECTED state in LTE, gives an indication to the radio network side that an MDT measurement result is available. The radio network retrieves a log of the measurement results based on the indication. For example, a radio base station (eNodeB: eNB) of the E-UTRAN transmits a UE Information Request to the radio terminal (UE) in order to perform log retrieval (collection) and the radio terminal (UE) reports a log of the measurement results as a UE Information Response. [0018] Thus, it is possible for an (e)NodeB/RNC or an upper level network server (Core Network: abbreviated as "CN", or Operation Administration and Maintenance: abbreviated as "OAM") to comprehend a coverage problem. Retrieving a log (measurement result) held by a radio terminal (UE) from the network, and reporting the held log (measurement result) from the radio terminal is termed as log retrieval (collection), in the present specification. [0019] Below, an LTE system is assumed, and using FIG. 22, an example of operations of a radio terminal (UE) is given. [0020] The radio terminal (UE) that receives an instruction to execute periodic measurement of a Logged MDT, from an eNodeB in LTE, goes into an idle mode (RRC_IDLE) at time t = tO. At this time the radio terminal (UE) is assumed to camp in cell 1. [0021] At time t = tO, the radio terminal (UE) performs logging of measurement results (RSRP and/or RSRQ) of serving cell 1 and neighboring cell 2. [0022] At t = tl, the radio terminal (UE) cannot select a connectable cell during a preset time-period, and detects a coverage hole and suspends measurement. Thereafter, while in a state where a connectable cell cannot be selected, instead of a measurement result, logging of "OOS" (out of service) may be performed. In a case where it is possible to select cell 1 once again or another connectable cell, the radio terminal (UE) restarts MDT measurement. [0023] The radio terminal (UE) moves to cell 2 in an idle mode, and at t = t2, performs logging of measurement results of cell 2 (serving cell) and neighboring cell 1. [0024] At t = t3, the radio terminal (UE) goes into an active mode (RRC_CONNECTED), and reports the log retained by the radio terminal (UE) to the base station eNodeB2 of cell 2. [0025] Thus, in a case where the UE detects a coverage hole, by reporting received quality until the coverage hole is detected or the fact (OOS) that there is a coverage hole to the eNodeB, it is possible to execute a required solution such as coverage optimization, based on the relevant fact, by the eNodeB or an upper level network server such as the OAM.

[0028] In the related technology, a determination by a radio terminal (UE) as to whether or not there is a coverage hole, targets only an allowed cell/eNodeB. Accordingly, in case of a determination of a coverage hole, information understood on a radio network side is that "there is no allowed cell". [0029] However, even in a case where the UE determines that there is a coverage hole, received quality of a downlink pilot signal from all radio base stations in the neighborhood is not necessarily below a value required for performing basic service (and thus it is not possible to establish an SRB or acquire system information). [0030] For example, there may be a situation in which "there is no allowed cell but there is a not allowed cell", that is, a case where received quality of a not allowed cell is greater than or equal to a preset value, but the radio terminal is not able to be served by the cell. Specifically, in the following three cases, for example, it is assumed that the situation described above occurs. [0031] Case 1) As shown in FIG. 23A, in a heterogeneous network (HetNet) including a macro cell and a CSG cell, when a radio terminal (UE) is within the non-member CSG cell which the radio terminal (UE) is not allowed to be served by (connected to) or at a boundary of the macro cell and the non-member CSG cell. It is to be noted that in place of the macro cell, the same applies to a micro cell or a pico cell. In the present specification, as a typical example, descriptions focus on a macro cell. [0032] Case 2) As shown in FIG. 23B, when a radio terminal (UE) is at a boundary with a black list cell which the radio terminal (UE) is not allowed to be served by (connected to) (for example, a river, an enclave of upper floors of a building, or the like). [0033] Case 3) When a radio terminal (UE) is at a boundary with a barred cell in which serving (connection) is forbidden to the radio terminal (UE) or inside the barred cell. [0034] In this way, causes for a coverage hole differ according to situations. [0035] In existing related technologies, the causes for a coverage hole cannot be distinguished on a radio network side. That is, even if a report of a measurement result at a time when a coverage hole is detected, or a report (OOS) of detection of a coverage hole, is received from the radio terminal, the radio network side cannot comprehend a situation (specifically, the abovementioned cases 1 and 2) of "there is no allowed cell but there is a not allowed cell". That is, the radio network side cannot correctly identify the cause for a coverage hole. [0036] Consequently, it may be uniformly determined that the cause for a coverage hole, for example, is a macro cell coverage problem, and a method of dealing with the coverage hole may be decided and executed. As a result, an adverse situation occurs where inappropriate handling of the coverage hole is performed on the radio network side, and a coverage problem due to inter-cell interference cannot be solved. [0037] Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a system, method, and device that enable identification of the cause of defect in radio coverage detected by a radio terminal (UE) on a radio network side. SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM [0038] To solve the abovementioned problem, the present invention is outlined as in the following configuration. [0039] According to the present invention there is provided a radio communication system, wherein a radio terminal, upon acquiring measurement instruction information from a radio station, performs measurement and logging in accordance with the measurement instruction information, and reports to the radio station, the radio terminal comprising: a measurement execution unit that, when finding that a first condition on selection or detection of a first cell in which the radio terminal is allowed to be served for a predetermined service, is satisfied, and a second condition on measurement or logging is satisfied, logs information on a second cell in which the terminal is not allowed to be served for the predetermined service. [0040] According to the present invention there is provided a radio terminal that receives measurement instruction information transmitted from a radio station and performs measurement and logging in accordance with the measurement instruction information, the radio terminal comprising: a measurement execution unit that, in case of a first condition on selection or detection of a first cell in which the terminal is allowed to be served for a predetermined service being satisfied, and a second condition on measurement or logging being satisfied, logs information on a second cell in which the terminal is not allowed to be served for the predetermined service. [0041] According to the present invention there is provided a radio station of a radio communication system, wherein a radio terminal that receives measurement instruction information from the radio station performs measurement and logging in accordance with the measurement instruction information, and in case of a first condition on selection or detection of a first cell in which the radio terminal is allowed to be served for a predetermined service being satisfied, and a second condition on measurement or logging being satisfied, logs information on a second cell in which the terminal is not allowed to be served for the predetermined service, and reports to the radio station side, wherein the radio station, in a case where a report from the radio terminal that detects a situation in which detection of the first cell in which a radio terminal is allowed to be served, is not possible, indicates that the second cell in which the radio terminal is not allow to be served, is present in the neighborhood, executes a change of a network configuration of at least one of the first cell and the second cell, as a strategy for reducing interference between the first cell and the second cell, and in a case where a report from the radio terminal indicates that the second cell is not present in the neighborhood, executes a change of a network configuration related to coverage of the first cell. [0042] According to the present invention there is provided an operation administration and maintenance server that performs operation administration and maintenance of a radio communication system, wherein a radio terminal that receives measurement instruction information from a radio station performs measurement and logging in accordance with the measurement instruction information, and in case of a first condition on selection or detection of a first cell in which the terminal is allowed to be served for a predetermined service being satisfied, and a second condition on measurement or logging being satisfied, logs information on a second cell in which the terminal is not allowed to be served for the predetermined service, and reports to the radio station side, wherein the operation administration and maintenance server performs control so that in a case where a report from the radio terminal that detects a situation in which detection of the first cell in which the radio terminal is allowed to be served is not possible, indicates that the second cell in which the radio terminal is not allow to be served, is present in a neighborhood, a network configuration of at least one of the first cell and the second cell is changed, as a strategy for reducing interference between the first cell and the second cell, and in a case where a report from the radio terminal indicates that the second cell is not present in the neighborhood, a network configuration related to coverage of the first cell is changed. [0043] According to the present invention there is provided a radio communication method, wherein a radio terminal acquires measurement instruction information from a radio station, and performs measurement and logging in accordance with the measurement instruction information and reports to the radio station, the method comprising: the radio terminal, in case of a first condition on selection or detection of a first cell in which the radio terminal is allowed to be served for reception of a predetermined service being satisfied, and a second condition on measurement or logging being satisfied, logging information on a second cell in which the terminal is not allowed to be served for reception of the predetermined service. MERITORIOUS EFFECT OF THE INVENTION [0044] According to the present invention, a radio network side can identify a cause of a coverage problem such as a coverage hole, such as whether it is due to lack of coverage or due to an interference problem, or the like.

MODES FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION [0046] Exemplary embodiments of the present invention are described using a radio communication system of the 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project), as an example. In one of preferable embodiments of the present invention, a radio terminal, in case of a first condition on a first cell in which the radio terminal is allowed to be served relating to a predetermined service is satisfied in an idle mode, records (logs) information on a second cell in a neighborhood in which the radio terminal is not allowed to be served relating to a predetermined service, and thereafter, when the radio terminal goes into an active mode, the radio terminal reports to a radio network, where the predetermined service, for example, may be a normal service (making a call, receiving a call, transmitting and receiving user data, and the like) supported by the radio terminal and radio network. Therefore, in this case, the first cell is, for example, a cell where a radio terminal is allowed to receive (perform) a normal service. The following describes a normal service as the predetermined service, merely as an example. It is as a matter of course that the predetermined service is not limited to this example. [0047] The second cell is a cell in which a radio terminal is allowed to be served only for receiving a limited service, and/or a cell which the radio terminal is inhibited from being served by (being connected to). In view of definitions used in 3GPP, the first cell corresponds to a "Suitable cell", the second cell corresponds to an "Acceptable cell", and/or a "Barred cell". (Non Patent Literature 6) [0048] It is to be noted that limited service may include an Emergency call, or an emergency report of an earthquake, tsunami, or the like (Earthquake and Tsunami Warning System: ETWS) (Non Patent Literature 7) [0049] The "first condition" described above includes at least one of the radio terminal detects a situation in which selection of the first cell is not possible, received quality of a serving cell, in which the radio terminal is being served, no longer satisfies a cell selection criteria, a preset time-period has elapsed since received quality of a serving cell, in which the radio terminal is being served, no longer satisfied a cell selection criteria, the radio terminal transitions to a state in which detection of the second cell is performed by the radio terminal. In particular, in a case where the radio terminal detects a situation in which the radio terminal cannot select the first cell, an area in which the radio terminal stays is called a "coverage hole". [0050] Furthermore, the second condition on measurement or logging may be configured in advance. For example, a condition where, before (immediately before) the radio terminal satisfies the first condition, a measurement instruction (and a indicated measurement operation) was valid (was executed), a condition where, before (immediately before) the radio terminal satisfies the first condition, the last serving area belongs to a predetermined preset area, a condition where the radio terminal hold is valid location information, at a point in time when the radio terminal satisfies the first condition, or a condition where, at a point in time when the radio terminal satisfies the first condition, an area, in which received quality of a downlink given signal (pilot signal, reference signal) is maximum (highest), belongs to a preset area. [0051] Similarly, preset timing at which information on the second cell is recorded, may be configured in advance. For example, this may be a period (interval) indicated in the measurement instruction information sent to the radio terminal from a radio network, such as a radio base station /base station control station, a point in time at which the first condition is satisfied, or the like. [0052] It is to be noted that a more detailed definition of a coverage hole, as supposed in 3GPP, indicates a situation in which received quality of a downlink signal (Signal to Noise power Ratio: SNR, Signal to Interference and Noise power Ratio: SINR, etc.) is less than a required value (level) for executing basic service, where the basic service indicates, for example, establishment of an SRB (Signaling Radio Bearer), acquisition of broadcasted system information (common information), and exchange of control information between a radio terminal and a radio base station, or the like. Otherwise, in LTE, Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP), and Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ), and in UMTS, Received Signal Code Power (RSCP) of a Common Pilot Channel (CIPICH), Ratio of energy per modulating bit to the noise spectral density (Ec/No) of a CPICH etc., are used as received quality. [0053] Alternatively, a situation may also be called a coverage hole where a radio terminal cannot select a cell in which the radio terminal is allowed to be served for receiving a normal service, that is, the radio terminal cannot detect a cell in which the radio terminal is allowed to be served for receiving a normal service with which the radio terminal is able to acquire broadcasted system information. [0054] Information on the second cell may be, for example: measurement results of the second cell (received quality, cell identifier, access restriction information, or the like), information indicating presence or absence of the second cell (whether or not the second cell is present in the neighborhood), information indicating a type of the second cell (whether a cell for which only a limited service is possible, whether serving (connection) is barred), information that although received quality of a downlink pilot signal (reference signal) is greater than or equal to a preset value, and/or system information can be acquired, the cell in question is a second cell, presence or absence of a cell in which the received quality of a downlink pilot signal (reference signal) is greater than or equal to a preset value, but system information cannot be acquired, information indicating whether a cell, in which the received quality of a downlink pilot signal (reference signal) is maximum (highest), is a first cell or a second cell. [0055] It is to be noted that access restriction information may include member information (CSG Identity (ID)) in a closed cell (Closed Subscriber Group (CSG) cell) in which radio terminals (members) allowed to be served for receiving a normal service are restricted, which is one of the service model of a Femto cell (or it may be called Home cell), information on access barring (Access Class (AC) Barring) and so forth. [0056] In the determination as to the presence or absence of the second cell in which the radio terminal is not allowed to be served for receiving a normal service, the following may be used: - a method of recognizing in advance serving is not allowed for receiving a normal service to a specific cell in the neighborhood, and determining whether or not received quality of a downlink signal of the cell in question is greater than or equal to a preset value (for example, greater than or equal to a level required to execute basic service), - a method of recognizing in advance that serving is not allowed for receiving a normal service to a specific cell in a neighborhood, and determining whether or not system information broadcasted in the cell can be acquired, - a method of detecting an identifier (for example, Physical Cell ID: PCI /Primary Scrambling Code: PSC) of a neighboring cell, recognizing from the identifier whether or not serving is allowed for receiving a normal service, and determining whether or not received quality of a downlink signal of the cell in question is greater than or equal to a preset value (for example, greater than or equal to a level required in order to execute basic service), - a method of detecting an identifier (for example, Physical Cell ID: PCI /Primary Scrambling Code: PSC) of a neighboring cell, recognizing from the identifier whether or not serving is allowed for receiving a normal service, and determining whether or not system information broadcasted in the cell in question can be acquired, a method of acquiring system information broadcasted in a neighboring cell and determining, based on the system information, whether or not serving is allowed for receiving a normal service. However, the present invention is, as a matter of course, not limited to the methods listed above. [0057] In the present specification, a cell /radio base station which a certain radio terminal (UE) is allowed to be served by (connected to), that is, is allowed to establish radio link, in order to receive (execute) a predetermined service, for example a normal service, is called an "allowed cell /radio base station". Conversely, a cell /radio base station which a certain radio terminal (UE) is not allowed to be served by (connected to) in order to receive a predetermined service, for example, a normal service, that is, a cell /radio base station with which a radio terminal (UE) is allowed to establish a radio link only in order to receive a limited service, and/or a cell /radio base station with which a radio terminal (UE) is not allowed to establish a radio link, is called a "not allowed cell /radio base station". The allowed cell corresponds to the first cell as described above, and the not allowed cell corresponds to the second cell. [0058] It is to be noted that as to when a radio terminal (UE) determines a coverage hole, for example, there is a method of determining a coverage hole when an allowed cell cannot be selected in a preset time-period (broadcasted system information cannot be acquired, or received quality is less than a preset value). Here, the preset time-period may be: - during a "camped normally" state, - during an "any cell selection" state, - during a "camped on any cell" state, or the like. [0059] Here, normal operations of a radio terminal (UE) in a system specified in 3GPP include: being in a "camped normally" state while a "Suitable cell" is selected, and thereafter transitioning to an "any cell selection" state in a case where a "suitable cell" cannot (could no longer) be selected (detected), and transitioning to a "camped on any cell" state in a case where an "acceptable cell" could be selected (detected). [0060] In the present specification, as an example, in a case where an allowed cell could not be selected during a "camped normally" state (that is, before transitioning to an "any cell selection" state), a determination of a coverage hole is made. However, in the present invention, the determination of the coverage hole is, as a matter of course, not limited to this in particular. [0061] In addition, in the description of the embodiments below, basically, as the first condition on selection or detection of the first cell, it is assumed that a coverage hole is detected and that received quality of a serving cell does not satisfy a cell selection criteria, and operation of the radio terminal (UE) when these problems are detected, is described, but the embodiments are also possible to operation at a stage before the coverage hole detection, for example, during the abovementioned preset time-period. [0062] Objects of an idle mode may include RRC_IDLE in 3GPP LTE (Long Term Evolution), and UTRAN IDLE, CELL_PCH, URA_PCH in a 3GPP UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunication System). It is to be noted that, below, a description regarding a Logged MDT focuses on RRC_IDLE in LTE and UTRAN IDLE in UMTS, but the present invention can be, as a matter of course, applied also to CELL_PCH and URA_PCH. [0063] In the operation of a radio terminal (UE) when it detects a coverage hole, in the present invention, specifically, there are two options as follows. It is to be noted that, as described above, the present invention can also be applied to a stage before the coverage hole detection, for example, as an operation during the preset time-period described above.
