== Unanswered Questions ==

=== How does this technology impact battery life in user equipment? ===
This article does not address the potential impact of this technology on the battery life of user equipment. It would be interesting to know if the increased processing for signal strength measurement has any significant effect on battery consumption.

=== What are the security implications of reporting signal strength values back to the cellular communication system? ===
The article does not discuss the security aspects of transmitting signal strength values back to the system. It would be important to understand how this data is handled and if there are any potential security risks associated with it.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

According to an example aspect of the present invention, there is provided an apparatus, such as a user equipment, configured at least to process a measurement instruction received in the apparatus from a cellular communication system, based on the measurement instruction, measure a received signal strength of a signal from each cell of a first cell set and each cell of a second cell set, the first cell set and the second cell set comprising cells of the cellular communication system, and determine a first signal strength value for the first cell set and a second signal strength value for the second cell set, and report to the cellular communication system a value obtained from the first signal strength value and the second signal strength value.
