1. A radio access network, RAN, node of a wireless communication network, the RAN node comprising:
processing circuitry; and
memory coupled with the processing circuitry, wherein the memory includes instructions that when executed by the processing circuitry causes the RAN node to,
transmit an early measurement configuration to a communication device, wherein the early measurement configuration includes a received signal threshold for early measurement reports,
transmit a logged Minimization of Drive Tests, MDT, measurement configuration to the communication device, wherein the MDT configuration includes an indication that the received signal threshold is not applicable to logged MDT measurement reports,
transmit a release message to the communication device, wherein the release message initiates transitioning of the communication device to a dormant state,
transmit a resume message or a setup message to the communication device after transmitting the release message, wherein the resume message or the setup message initiates transitioning of the communication device to a connected state, and
receive a logged MDT measurement report from the communication device after transmitting the resume message or the setup message, wherein the logged MDT measurement report includes a plurality of signal measurements for a respective plurality of frequencies, and wherein the logged MDT measurement report includes the early measurement configuration.
