Abstract

La présente invention concerne un procédé de communication et un dispositif de communication qui facilitent la réduction de surcharges sur des interfaces radio. Le procédé consiste : à recevoir, par un dispositif terminal, un message provenant d'un dispositif de réseau d'accès cible, le message servant à indiquer s'il faut effectuer une mesure en fonction d'au moins certains des paramètres d'une première configuration de mesure, la première configuration de mesure provenant d'un dispositif de réseau d'accès source et la première configuration de mesure comprenant des paramètres permettant au dispositif terminal d'effectuer une mesure ; lorsque le message indique que la mesure peut être poursuivie en fonction d'au moins certains des paramètres de la première configuration de mesure, à permettre au dispositif terminal de continuer à effectuer la mesure, en fonction d'au moins certains des paramètres de la première configuration de mesure. Le dispositif de réseau d'accès cible peut donc ne pas envoyer de paramètres supplémentaires ou n'en envoyer qu'un petit nombre. Des surcharges d'interface radio peuvent donc être réduites.
