1. A method performed by a wireless device for handling early measurement reporting to a network node, the method comprising:
performing one or more 3rd Generation Partnership Project, 3GPP, Release 16, Rel-16, radio signal measurements of one or more of: a serving cell and one or more neighboring cells while the wireless device is in an idle state, an idle mode or an inactive state;
storing the one or more Rel-16 radio signal measurements of the one or more of: the serving cell and the one or more neighboring cells;
receiving a first indication from the network node, the first indication indicating a capability of the network node to only receive early measurement reports for cells operating according to Long Term Evolution, LTE; and
abstaining from sending a third indication to the network node, the third indication indicating early measurements that the wireless device has available to send to the network node.
 
7. A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable medium having computer readable code embodied therein, the computer readable code being configured such that, on execution by a suitable processor, the processor is caused to:
perform one or more 3rd Generation Partnership Project, 3GPP, Release 16, Rel-16, radio signal measurements of one or more of: a serving cell and one or more neighboring cells while the wireless device is in an idle state, an idle mode or an inactive state;
store the one or more Rel-16 radio signal measurements of the one or more of: the serving cell and the one or more neighboring cells;
receive a first indication from the network node, the first indication indicating a capability of the network node to only receive early measurement reports for cells operating according to Long Term Evolution, LTE; and
abstain from sending a third indication to the network node, the third indication indicating early measurements that the wireless device has available to send to the network node.
 
8. A wireless device configured for handling early measurement reporting to a network node, the wireless device configured to:
performing one or more 3rd Generation Partnership Project, 3GPP, Release 16, Rel-16, radio signal measurements of one or more of: a serving cell and one or more neighboring cells while the wireless device is in an idle state, an idle mode or an inactive state;
storing the one or more Rel-16 radio signal measurements of the one or more of: the serving cell and the one or more neighboring cells;
receive a first indication from the network node, the first indication indicating a capability of the network node to receive early measurement reports for cells operating according to Long Term Evolution, LTE; and
abstaining from sending a third indication to the network node, the third indication indicating early measurements that the wireless device has available to send to the network node.
