1. A method performed by a wireless communication device in a cellular communications system, the method comprising:
obtaining first information for determining whether the wireless communication device meets one or more criteria for entering into one or more relaxed measurement modes;
obtaining second information about whether the wireless communication device is configured with early measurement reporting; and
selecting a measurement mode from a set of measurement modes comprising the one or more relaxed measurement modes and a normal measurement mode, wherein selecting the measurement mode comprises:
determining, based on the first information, whether the wireless communication device meets the one or more criteria for entering into the one or more relaxed measurement modes;
selecting one of the set of measurement modes based on upon results of determining whether the wireless communication device meets the one or more criteria for entering into the one of the one or more relaxed measurement modes and based on the second information,
determining, based on the second information, that the wireless communication device is configured with an early measurement reporting configuration, and
selecting one of the set of measurement modes based on upon results of determining whether the wireless communication device meets the one or more criteria for entering into the one of the one or more relaxed measurement modes and based on the second information comprises selecting the normal measurement mode upon determining that the wireless communication device is configured with an early measurement reporting configuration.
