Methods, devices, processors and computer program products for mobile
terminal-based Radio Resource Management (RRM) and network optimization.
The mobile terminal measures or otherwise obtains radio condition
measurements (such as received power, interference, mobile transmit power
and the like) and/or geographical location measurements. The radio
condition measurements and/or location measurements are compared against
historical data and/or target Key Performance Indicators (KPI) and, based
on the comparison, a determination can be made as to whether adjustment
of RRM parameters is warranted. By providing for RRM management at the
mobile terminal level, as opposed to a cell or Radio Network Controller
(RNC) level, better granularity of management is realized in the overall
radio network. Further, individual mobile terminals can better tailor
their radio resource needs to meet their conditions of use and, as such,
better overall service can be realized by the individual mobile terminals
in the network.
