1. A method of measurement reporting in a telecommunication system comprising mobile stations and a network comprising base stations, wherein decisions upon establishing or canceling a communication link between a mobile station and a base station are made in the network on the basis of measurement reports sent from the mobile station to the network, characterized in that the method comprises the steps of
defining first and second sets of trigger conditions corresponding, respectively, to radio signal properties in the uplink and downlink directions,
defining a logical function for combining said first and second sets of trigger conditions,
at the mobile station, determining the state of each trigger condition, combining the states according to the logical function, and sending a measurement report to a base station in dependence upon the condition of the logical function.
