[0077] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the implementation methods of the present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0078] The network architecture and business scenarios described in the embodiments of the present application are intended to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, and do not constitute a limitation on the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present application. A person of ordinary skill in the art can appreciate that with the evolution of the network architecture and the emergence of new business scenarios, the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present application are also applicable to similar technical problems.

[0079] Please refer to Figure 1 , which shows a schematic diagram of a network architecture of a communication system provided by an embodiment of the present application. The network architecture may include: a terminal 10 and a base station 20.

[0080] The number of terminals 10 is usually multiple, and one or more terminals 10 may be distributed in the cell managed by each base station 20. The terminal 10 may include various handheld devices with wireless communication functions, vehicle-mounted devices, wearable devices, computing devices, or other processing devices connected to a wireless modem, as well as various forms of user equipment (UE), mobile stations (MS), terminal devices, etc. For the convenience of description, in the embodiments of the present application, the above-mentioned devices are collectively referred to as terminals.

[0081] The base station 20 is a device deployed in the access network to provide wireless communication functions for the terminal 10. The base station 20 may include various forms of satellite base stations, macro base stations, micro base stations, relay stations, access points, etc. In systems using different wireless access technologies, the names of devices with base station functions may be different. For example, in the 5th-Generation (5G) new radio (NR) system, it is called gNodeB or gNB. With the evolution of communication technology, the name "base station" may change. For the convenience of description, in the embodiments of the present application, the above-mentioned devices that provide wireless communication functions for the terminal 20 are collectively referred to as base stations.

[0082] Optional, Figure 1What is not shown is that the above network architecture also includes other network devices, such as: Central Network Control (CNC), Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF) equipment, Session Management Function (SMF) or User Plane Function (UPF) equipment, etc.

[0083] The "5G NR system" in the embodiments of the present disclosure may also be referred to as a 5G system or an NR system, but those skilled in the art may understand its meaning. The technical solution described in the embodiments of the present disclosure may be applicable to a 5G NR system or to a subsequent evolution system of the 5G NR system.

[0084] Before introducing the solutions shown in the subsequent embodiments of this application, several terms and concepts involved in this application are first introduced.

[0085] 1) Minimum path test (MDT)

[0086] MDT refers to minimum path test or minimum call path test, and its main purposes are as follows:

[0087] a. Reduce drive test expenses and shorten optimization cycles, thereby reducing network optimization and maintenance costs for mobile communication operators;

[0088] b. It can collect measurement information from all areas that cannot be measured by traditional drive testing (such as narrow roads, forests, private places, etc.). Therefore, it can evaluate network performance more objectively and make the results of network evaluation closer to user experience, bringing higher user satisfaction.

[0089] The MDT mode is divided into Immediate MDT and Logged MDT.

[0090] Among them, Immediate MDT requires the terminal device to perform measurements in a connected state and report the measurement report to the network side device (such as gNB) immediately after the measurement is completed.

[0091] Logged MDT requires the terminal device to perform measurements and store them in an idle state (IDLE state) or an inactive state (INACTIVE state) according to the configuration parameter information, and report the measurement results to the network side device after entering the connected state (Connected state).

[0092] The activation of Immediate MDT and Logged MDT is divided into two methods: management-based activation and signaling-based activation. Before activating MDT, the user needs to give consent to the core network. For management-based MDT, the user permission information is sent from the core network to the Radio Access Network (RAN), and the RAN instructs the terminal devices in the area to activate MDT based on the user information; for signaling-based MDT, the core network instructs a specific terminal device to activate MDT, and there is no need to send the user permission information to the RAN.

[0093] 2) Dual connection

[0094] Dual-Connectivity (DC) is an important technology introduced by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP). Through dual-connectivity technology, Long Term Evolution (LTE) macro base stations and small base stations can use non-ideal backhaul X2 interfaces to achieve carrier aggregation, thereby providing users with higher rates and improving spectrum efficiency and load balancing by using macro / micro networking. Terminal devices that support dual connectivity can connect to two base stations at the same time, increasing the throughput of a single user.

[0095] During the deployment of 5G networks, 5G cells can be used as independent macro coverage networks or as small base stations to enhance the coverage and capacity of existing LTE networks. Regardless of the networking method used, dual connectivity technology can be used to achieve interconnection between LTE and 5G systems, thereby improving the wireless resource utilization of the entire mobile network system, reducing the system switching delay, and improving user and system performance. Based on LTE dual connectivity technology, the 3GPP organization has defined dual connectivity technology for LTE and 5G. LTE-5G dual connectivity is a key technology for operators to achieve LTE and 5G converged networking and flexible deployment scenarios. In the early stages of 5G, rapid deployment can be achieved based on the existing LTE core network, and in the later stages, comprehensive network coverage can be achieved through the joint networking of LTE and 5G, improving the wireless resource utilization of the entire network system, reducing system switching delay, and improving user and system performance.

[0096] 3) Instant MDT in dual-connection scenarios

[0097] The solution for supporting MDT in a dual-connectivity scenario is relatively complex. In an immediate MDT reporting solution in an evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access-NR DC (EN-DC) scenario involved in this application, the master node (MN) is an access node in an E-UTRA network, and the secondary node (SN) is an access node in an NR network.

[0098] The MDT measurement configuration in the EN-DC scenario is as follows:

[0099] Please refer to Figure 2 , which shows a schematic diagram of management-based MDT reporting provided by an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 As shown, for management-based Immediate MDT, the Operation Administration and Maintenance (OAM) entity 21 directly configures MDT configuration information (MDT configuration) for the primary node 22 and the secondary node 23 independently; the terminal device 24 can submit MN-related measurement results to the primary node 22 through SRB1 / SRB2. If SRB3 is configured, the UE can submit SN-related measurement results to the secondary node 23 through SRB3.

[0100] Please refer to Figure 3 , which shows a schematic diagram of MDT reporting based on signaling provided by an embodiment of the present application. Figure 3 As shown, for the signaling-based immediate MDT, the mobility management function (Mobility Management Entity, MME) entity 31 submits all the MDT configuration information of the MN and SN to the master node 32, and the master node 32 forwards the NRMDT configuration information to the secondary node 33 through the X2 interface; when performing MDT reporting, the terminal device 34 needs to submit the measurement results related to the MN and SN to the master node 32 through SRB1 / SRB2, and the master node 32 transfers the measurement results related to the SN to the secondary node 33.

[0101] In the Immediate MDT in the above dual-connectivity scenario, there are two ways to report measurement results. The first is that when SRB3 is configured, the UE reports the corresponding measurement results to the MN and SN respectively; the second is that when SRB3 is not configured, the UE reports all the measurement results corresponding to the MN and SN to the MN, and the MN transfers the SN-related measurement results to the SN. However, this solution has the following problems:

[0102] During the Immediate MDT reporting process, when there is a problem with the uplink transmission between the terminal device and the MN, the Immediate MDT may not be reported in time or the reporting may fail, resulting in the master node MN being unable to obtain the instant MDT data of the terminal device in time. In response to the above problem, the subsequent embodiments of the present application provide a solution for MDT reporting, which can ensure the accuracy of the MDT data reported by the terminal device to the network side.

[0103] Please refer to Figure 4 , which shows a flow chart of a measurement reporting method provided by an embodiment of the present application, the method can be executed by a terminal device, wherein the terminal device can be Figure 1 The method may include the following steps:

[0104] Step 401: when the terminal device is in a dual connection scenario, obtain first instant minimum path test data, where the first instant minimum path test data is the instant minimum path test data of the terminal device for the master node in the dual connection scenario.

[0105] Step 402: When the terminal device does not have the condition to perform uplink data transmission with the primary node, the terminal device reports the first instant minimum path test data to the secondary node in the dual connection scenario.

[0106] To summarize, the scheme shown in the embodiment of the present application, for a terminal device in a dual-connection scenario, when there is real-time MDT data in the terminal device that needs to be reported to the primary node, if the conditions for uplink data transmission are not met between the terminal device and the primary node, the terminal device reports the real-time MDT data to the secondary node in the dual-connection scenario, thereby reporting the real-time MDT data of the primary node to the network side in a timely manner, thereby improving the accuracy of the terminal device reporting MDT data to the network side.

[0107] Please refer to Figure 5 , which shows a flow chart of a measurement reporting method provided by an embodiment of the present application, the method can be executed by a wireless access node, and the wireless access node is a secondary node in a dual connection scenario where a terminal device is located; wherein the wireless access node can be Figure 1 The method may include the following steps:

[0108] Step 501, receiving first instant minimum path test data sent by the terminal device when the terminal device does not have the conditions for uplink data transmission with the master node in the dual connection scenario; the first instant minimum path test data is the instant minimum path test data of the terminal device to the master node.

[0109] Step 502: Send the first instant minimum drive test data to the master node.

[0110] To summarize, the scheme shown in the embodiment of the present application, for a terminal device in a dual-connection scenario, when there is immediate MDT data in the terminal device that needs to be reported to the primary node, if the conditions for uplink data transmission are not met between the terminal device and the primary node, the terminal device reports the immediate MDT data to the secondary node in the dual-connection scenario, and the secondary node passes the immediate MDT data to the primary node, so that the immediate MDT data corresponding to the primary node can be reported to the primary node in a timely manner, thereby improving the accuracy of the terminal device reporting MDT data to the primary node in the dual connection.

[0111] Please refer to Figure 6 , which shows a schematic diagram of a measurement reporting process provided by an embodiment of the present application. Figure 6 As shown, the terminal device 601 is in a dual-connection scenario, and simultaneously establishes connections with the primary node 602 and the secondary node 603 , and the terminal device 601 performs instant MDT measurements on the primary node 602 and the secondary node 603 .

[0112] exist Figure 6 In the embodiment, the terminal device 601 performs an immediate MDT measurement on the master node 602, obtains the first immediate MDT data (step S1), and detects that the conditions for uplink data transmission with the master node 602 are not met (step S2). At this time, the terminal device 601 reports the first immediate MDT data to the auxiliary node 603 (step S3). After receiving the first immediate MDT data, the auxiliary node 603 sends the first immediate MDT data to the master node 602 (step S4), so that when the uplink transmission between the terminal device 601 and the master node 602 is not smooth, the immediate MDT data of the master node 602 can also be reported to the master node 602, thereby improving the accuracy of the terminal device reporting MDT data to the master node in the dual connection.

[0113] Please refer to Figure 7 , which shows a flow chart of a measurement reporting method provided by an embodiment of the present application, the method can be executed by a terminal device and a wireless access node, and the wireless access node includes a primary node and a secondary node in a dual connection scenario where the terminal device is located; wherein the above-mentioned terminal device can be Figure 1 The terminal in the network architecture shown; the wireless access node can be Figure 1 The base station in the network architecture shown in FIG. Figure 7 As shown, the method may include the following steps:

[0114] Step 701: The terminal device establishes a dual connection with the primary node and the secondary node.

[0115] In an embodiment of the present application, in a communication system supporting dual connections, when a terminal device enters a connected state, it establishes connections with a primary node and a secondary node at the same time. At this time, the terminal device is in a dual connection scenario.

[0116] In a possible implementation, the master node is an access node in an evolved universal radio access network, also known as an evolved universal mobile communications system terrestrial radio access E-UTRA network, and the secondary node is an access node in a new radio interface NR network.

[0117] In another possible implementation, the master node is an access node in the NR network, and the secondary node is an access node in the E-UTRA network.

[0118] In another possible implementation manner, the above-mentioned master node and the auxiliary node are both access nodes in the NR network; or, the above-mentioned master node and the auxiliary node are both access nodes in the E-UTRA network.

[0119] The embodiments of the present application do not limit the networks to which the primary node and the secondary node belong.

[0120] Step 702: The terminal device performs an immediate MDT measurement on the master node to obtain first MDT data.

[0121] In the embodiment of the present application, after the terminal device establishes dual connections with the primary node and the secondary node, the network side performs MDT configuration on the primary node and the secondary node to configure the reporting method of the MDT data of the terminal device.

[0122] For example, in a possible implementation, the network management device configures the MDT configuration for the master node and the slave node respectively. For example, taking the above dual-connectivity scenario as an EN-DC scenario, the OAM entity directly configures the MDT configuration of the E-UTRA network independently for the master node, and does not independently configure the MDT configuration of the NR network for the slave node; or, the OAM entity configures the MDT configuration of the E-UTRA network and the MDT configuration of the NR network for the master node, and does not configure the MDT configuration of the E-UTRA network and the MDT configuration of the NR network for the slave node.

[0123] In another possible implementation, the network management device configures the MDT configuration for the primary node, and the primary node sends the MDT configuration corresponding to the secondary node to the secondary node. For example, taking the above-mentioned dual-connectivity scenario as an EN-DC scenario, the MME entity configures the MDT configuration of the E-UTRA network and the MDT configuration of the NR network to the primary node, and the primary node forwards the NR MDT configuration to the secondary node through the X2 interface, or the primary node forwards the MDT configuration of the E-UTRA network and the MDT configuration of the NR network to the secondary node through the X2 interface.

[0124] In another possible implementation, the network management device configures the MDT configuration for the secondary node, and the secondary node sends the MDT configuration corresponding to the primary node to the primary node. For example, taking the above-mentioned dual-connectivity scenario as an EN-DC scenario, the Core Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF) entity configures the MDT configuration of the E-UTRA network and the MDT configuration of the NR network to the secondary node, and the secondary node forwards the E-UTRA MDT configuration to the primary node through the X2 interface, or the secondary node forwards the MDT configuration of the E-UTRA network and the MDT configuration of the NR network to the primary node through the X2 interface.

[0125] After the network management device configures the MDT configuration for the primary node and the secondary node, when the terminal device is selected as a terminal for performing immediate MDT measurement, the terminal device can perform immediate MDT measurement on the primary node and the secondary node to obtain immediate MDT data. The immediate MDT data obtained by the terminal device performing MDT measurement on the primary node is the first immediate MDT data.

[0126] In a possible implementation manner, when the terminal device performs MDT measurement on the secondary node, the obtained immediate MDT data is the second immediate MDT data.

[0127] Step 703, when the terminal device does not have the conditions for uplink data transmission with the primary node, and there is a designated radio signaling bearer (SRB) between the terminal device and the secondary node, the terminal device reports the first real-time MDT data to the secondary node through the designated SRB; accordingly, the secondary node receives the first real-time MDT data.

[0128] In an embodiment of the present application, when there is first immediate MDT data to be uploaded in the terminal device, the terminal device can detect whether the conditions for uplink data transmission between the terminal device and the primary node are met. If it is detected that the conditions for uplink data transmission between the terminal device and the primary node are not met, the terminal device further determines whether there is a designated SRB between the terminal device and the secondary node. If there is a designated SRB between the terminal device and the secondary node, the terminal device reports the first immediate MDT data to the secondary node through the designated SRB.

[0129] Correspondingly, the secondary node also receives, through the designated SRB, the first instant minimum path test data sent by the terminal device when the terminal device does not have the conditions for performing uplink data transmission with the primary node.

[0130] In a possible implementation manner, if the terminal device detects that a condition for performing uplink data transmission with the master node is met, the terminal device reports the first immediate MDT data to the master node.

[0131] In a possible implementation, when the terminal device detects at least one of the following situations, it can be determined that the conditions for uplink data transmission with the master node are not met:

[0132] 1) There are no resources for uplink transmission to the master node;

[0133] In an embodiment of the present application, if the terminal device is not currently allocated or preempted with resources for uplink transmission to the master node, the terminal device cannot perform uplink transmission to the master node. At this time, the terminal device does not have the conditions for uplink data transmission with the master node.

[0134] 2) The master node loses synchronization in the uplink;

[0135] In an embodiment of the present application, when the terminal device loses uplink synchronization with the master node, the terminal device cannot accurately perform uplink transmission to the master node. At this time, the terminal device can determine that it does not have the conditions for uplink data transmission with the master node.

[0136] 3) The network repeatedly feedbacks the NACK response that cannot successfully decode the uplink data sent by the terminal device to the master node;

[0137] In an embodiment of the present application, when the network feeds back NACK responses multiple times to indicate that the uplink data sent by the terminal device to the master node cannot be successfully decoded, it means that the link quality of the uplink of the terminal device to the master node is poor (for example, the uplink is severely interfered, or the terminal device is far away from the master node, or the terminal device's transmission power is limited, etc.). At this time, the terminal device can determine that it does not have the conditions for uplink data transmission with the master node.

[0138] 4) The master node detects that the signal strength of the terminal device is lower than the first strength threshold;

[0139] In an embodiment of the present application, the network side may return measurement information of the terminal device by the master node to the terminal device, where the measurement information includes the signal strength of the terminal device detected by the master node. When the signal strength is lower than a first strength threshold, the terminal device may believe that the master node may not be able to correctly decode the uplink data. Even if uplink transmission is performed to the master node, the master node may not be able to correctly decode the uplink data. At this time, the terminal device may determine that the conditions for uplink data transmission with the master node are not met.

[0140] 5) The terminal device detects that the signal strength of the master node is lower than the second strength threshold;

[0141] In an embodiment of the present application, when the terminal device detects that the signal strength of the master node is lower than the second strength threshold, the terminal device may consider that the distance between the master node and the terminal device is far. At this time, the link quality of the uplink of the terminal device to the master node may also be poor. At this time, the terminal device can determine that the conditions for uplink data transmission with the master node are not met.

[0142] The embodiments of the present application only take the above-mentioned situations in which it is determined that the terminal device does not have the conditions for uplink data transmission with the master node as examples for explanation. The terminal device may also determine whether the conditions for uplink data transmission with the master node are met through other situations. For example, the terminal device may determine whether the conditions for uplink data transmission with the master node are met based on instructions from the network side. The present application does not limit the manner in which the terminal device determines whether the conditions for uplink data transmission with the master node are met.

[0143] In a possible implementation, the designated SRB is SRB3.

[0144] For example, taking the above-mentioned dual connection scenario as an EN-DC scenario, the terminal device can establish SRB1 or SRB2 with the primary node, and can establish SRB3 with the secondary node. When the terminal device detects that SRB3 has been established with the secondary node, the terminal device can report the first real-time MDT data to the secondary node.

[0145] In another possible implementation, when the terminal device does not have the conditions for uplink data transmission with the primary node and the designated SRB does not exist between the terminal device and the secondary node, the designated SRB is established between the terminal device and the secondary node.

[0146] In an embodiment of the present application, if the terminal device detects that the conditions for uplink data transmission with the primary node are not met, and the designated SRB does not exist between the terminal device and the secondary node, the terminal device can initiate an SRB establishment process to the secondary node to establish SRB3 between the terminal device and the secondary node.

[0147] In a possible implementation manner, the terminal device may report the first instant minimum path test data to the secondary node through independent signaling.

[0148] For example, in the case where the terminal device performs real-time MDT measurements on the primary node and the secondary node respectively, the terminal device can report the first real-time MDT data to the secondary node through the measurement report of the network corresponding to the primary node, and report the second real-time MDT data to the secondary node through the measurement report of the network corresponding to the secondary node; that is, when the terminal device needs to report the first MDT data and the second MDT data to the secondary node respectively, the two MDT data are reported respectively through different measurement reports.

[0149] In another possible implementation, the terminal device reports the first instant minimum path test data to the secondary node through the measurement report of the network corresponding to the secondary node. Accordingly, when the secondary node receives the first instant minimum path test data sent by the terminal device, it receives the measurement report of the network corresponding to the secondary node sent by the terminal device when the terminal device does not have the conditions for uplink data transmission with the primary node; and obtains the first instant minimum path test data from the measurement report of the network corresponding to the secondary node.

[0150] For example, in the case where the terminal device performs real-time MDT measurements on the primary node and the secondary node respectively, the terminal device can report the first real-time MDT data to the secondary node through the measurement report of the network corresponding to the secondary node; that is, when the terminal device needs to report the first MDT data and the second MDT data to the secondary node respectively, these two MDT data are reported through the same measurement report, thereby realizing the reuse of existing measurement reports and improving the utilization rate of uplink resources.

[0151] In one possible implementation, when the terminal device reports the first instant minimum path test data to the auxiliary node through the measurement report of the network corresponding to the auxiliary node, the measurement report of the network corresponding to the auxiliary node includes the measurement identification bit of the main network and the first instant minimum path test data corresponding to the measurement flag bit of the main network; the main network is the network corresponding to the main node.

[0152] Correspondingly, when the measurement report of the network corresponding to the secondary node includes the measurement identification bit of the primary network, the secondary node obtains the first instant minimum path test data corresponding to the measurement identification bit of the primary network from the measurement report.

[0153] In an illustrative solution, taking the above-mentioned dual connection scenario as an EN-DC scenario as an example, when the terminal device detects that there is a problem with the uplink transmission with the primary node, it is considered that the immediate MDT measurement result related to the primary node cannot be successfully reported to the primary node. If there is SRB3 between the terminal device and the secondary node, the terminal device reports the following content according to the NR signaling structure:

[0154] A) The NR measurement results (NR-MeasResults) of the auxiliary node are recorded in the MeasResults mode specified in the 38.331 protocol;

[0155] B) The E-UTRA measurement results (Eutra-MeasResults) of the master node are recorded in the MeasResults format specified in the 36.331 protocol;

[0156] In the measurement report of the network corresponding to the auxiliary node, the above content structure is as follows:

[0157]

[0158]

[0159] Step 704: The secondary node sends the first immediate MDT data to the primary node.

[0160] In the embodiment of the present application, after receiving the first immediate MDT data, the secondary node may forward the first immediate MDT data to the primary node, so that the primary node can obtain the first immediate MDT data in real time.

[0161] In a possible implementation manner, the secondary node sends the first instant minimum path test data to the primary node through an X2 interface between the secondary node and the primary node.

[0162] In the embodiment of the present application, the secondary node and the primary node are connected via an X2 interface, and the secondary node can transmit the real-time MDT data of the primary node to the primary node via the X2 interface.

[0163] In another possible implementation manner, the secondary node sends the first instant minimum path test data to the mobility management entity MME through the core access and mobility management function AMF entity, and the MME sends the first instant minimum path test data to the primary node.

[0164] For example, taking the above-mentioned dual connection scenario as an EN-DC scenario, the auxiliary node is an NR base station (such as gNB), and the main node is an E-UTRA base station (such as eNB). After the gNB receives the above-mentioned first MDT data, it can successively use the AMF and MME in the core network as transit to send the first MDT data to the eNB.

[0165] In another possible implementation, the secondary node sends the first instant minimum path test data to the AMF through the MME, and the AMF sends the first instant minimum path test data to the primary node.

[0166] For example, taking the case where the auxiliary node is an E-UTRA base station (such as eNB) and the primary node is an NR base station (such as gNB), after the eNB receives the above-mentioned first MDT data, it can successively send the first MDT data to the gNB through the MME and AMF in the core network as transit.

[0167] In another possible implementation, the auxiliary node sends the first instant minimum path test data to the AMF, and the AMF sends the first instant minimum path test data to the primary node.

[0168] For example, taking the case where both the auxiliary node and the main node are NR base stations (such as gNB), after gNB1 receives the above-mentioned first MDT data, it can send the first MDT data to gNB2 through the AMF in the core network as a transit.

[0169] In another possible implementation manner, the secondary node sends the first instantaneous minimum path test data to the MME, and the MME sends the first instantaneous minimum path test data to the primary node.

[0170] For example, taking the case where both the auxiliary node and the master node are E-UTRA base stations (such as eNBs), after receiving the first MDT data, eNB1 can send the first MDT data to eNB2 through the MME in the core network as a transfer.

[0171] To summarize, the scheme shown in the embodiment of the present application, for a terminal device in a dual-connection scenario, when there is immediate MDT data in the terminal device that needs to be reported to the primary node, if the conditions for uplink data transmission are not met between the terminal device and the primary node, the terminal device reports the immediate MDT data to the secondary node in the dual-connection scenario, and the secondary node passes the immediate MDT data to the primary node, so that the immediate MDT data corresponding to the primary node can be reported to the primary node in a timely manner, thereby improving the accuracy of the terminal device reporting MDT data to the primary node in the dual connection.

[0173] exist Figure 8 In the process, the terminal device 801 performs an immediate MDT measurement on the master node 802 to obtain the first immediate MDT data (E-UTRA immediate MDT data), and the terminal device 801 performs an immediate MDT measurement on the slave node 803 to obtain the second immediate MDT data (NR immediate MDT data) (step S1), and detects that the conditions for uplink data transmission with the master node 802 are not met (step S2). At this time, the terminal device 801 reports the E-UTRA immediate MDT data and the NR immediate MDT data to the slave node 803 through the NR measurement report (step S3). After receiving the NR measurement report, the slave node 803 extracts the E-UTRA immediate MDT data therein and sends the E-UTRA immediate MDT data to the master node 802 through the X2 interface (step S4).
