Wireless Device Reporting

Abstract

There is disclosed a method for operating a wireless device in a wireless communication network. The method comprises configuring, by the wireless device, a reporting time window for transmitting a report to the wireless communication network and determining, by the wireless device, whether data transmission from the wireless device to the wireless communication network is scheduled for a transmission time within the reporting time window, as well as transmitting the report together with the scheduled data transmission if it is determined that such is scheduled for a transmission time within the reporting time window. There are also disclosed corresponding methods and devices.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method of operating a wireless device in a wireless communication network, the method comprising:
 configuring, by the wireless device, a reporting time window for transmitting a report to the wireless communication network;   determining, by the wireless device, whether data transmission from the wireless device to the wireless communication network is scheduled for a transmission time within the reporting time window;   transmitting the report together with the scheduled data transmission if it is determined that such is scheduled for a transmission time within the reporting time window.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , the method comprising transmitting the report at or after the end of the reporting time window if it is determined that no data transmission is scheduled for a transmission time within the reporting time window. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , the method comprising configuring a measurement time for measuring data on which the report is based on. 
     
     
         4 . A wireless device configured for operation in a wireless communication network, and being further configured to configure a reporting time window for transmitting a report to the wireless communication network, determine whether a data transmission from the wireless device to the wireless communication network is scheduled for a transmission time within the reporting time window, and transmit the report together with the scheduled data transmission if it is determined that such is scheduled for a transmission time within the reporting time window 
     
     
         5 . The wireless device of  claim 4 , further configured to transmit the report at or after the end of the reporting time window if it is determined that no data transmission is scheduled for a transmission time within the reporting time window. 
     
     
         6 . The wireless device of  claim 4 , further configured to configure a measurement time for measuring data on which the report is based. 
     
     
         7 . A method of operating a network node in a wireless communication network, the method comprising configuring a wireless device connected or connectable to the network node with a reporting time window for transmitting a report. 
     
     
         8 . A network node configured for operation in a wireless communication network, the network node being further configured to configure a wireless device connected or connectable to the network node with a reporting time window for transmitting a report. 
     
     
         9 . A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a computer program comprising program instructions that, when executed by processing circuitry of a wireless device configured for operation in a wireless communication network, cause the wireless device to:
 configure a reporting time window for transmitting a report to the wireless communication network;   determine whether data transmission from the wireless device to the wireless communication network is scheduled for a transmission time within the reporting time window; and   transmit the report together with the scheduled data transmission if it is determined that such is scheduled for a transmission time within the reporting time window.
