- - signaling means configured for signaling capability information comprising information on a capability to apply compressed mode on a per frequency band basis
- - receiving means configured for receiving parameters to configure for compressed mode on a frequency band
- - control means configured for applying compressed mode on said frequency band.
- - signaling capability information comprising information on a capability of a station to apply compressed mode on a per frequency band basis
- the station may comprise a base station or a user equipment.
- the network node allows for applyi ng the "per-band" compressed mode when it comes to measure an inter-band frequency without the above described compressed mode that introduces transmission gaps during which a U E performs actual measurements.
- Use of user equipment capability information may allow a network node to efficiently apply the "per-band" as the network node can be provided with knowledge about the respective capabilities of the U E which has to perform said measurements on said inter-band frequency.
- said signaling means are further configured for signaling, to said user equipment, said parameters in case said information comprised in said user equipment capability information indicating the capability to apply compressed mode transmissions only on said first frequency band. This informs and enables the UE, which has to perform said measurements, to prepare for compressed mode transmissions only on said first frequency band from the network node.

- Figs. 1 and 1 b show an implementation of the present invention according to some embodiments of the present invention.
- Fig. 2 shows a network node according to some embodiments of the present invention.

- the "per-band" compressed mode gives additional benefits for the network in terms of uninterrupted data transmission in one of the bands.
- the compressed mode configuration is per whole UE, not per a carrier.
- a U E uses the fact whether the compressed mode patterns are configured or not as an implicit indication for which measurement type should be used. If a UE supports "Inter-frequency measurements without the compressed mode" capability, but the compressed mode patterns are configured by the network, then a UE is supposed to use them despite the capability it has.
- the measurement control message according to HSPA Rel-9 is extended by introducing a "Per-band compressed" Information Element (IE), presence of which means that a UE is asked to apply the compressed mode only to one band. 2.
