Embodiments described herein are directed to methods for adaptively configuring a measurement period in a user equipment or another network node. The measurement period can be determined based at least in part on an assessment of one or more conditions, wherein each of the measurement periods is associated with at least one condition. The determined measurement period can be used for performing and/or reporting one or more measurements. According to certain embodiments, the measurement period may be adapted by maintaining concurrently two or more measurement filters with different measurement periods and then selecting the appropriate one, based on a condition assessment result.
