Method an apparatus for logging information

摘要

The present invention provides a device and a method for logging information. The device implementing the invention is operable to attach to a first node and a second node, at least one of the first node and the second node operates within a WLAN and the other of the first node and the second node operates within a WLAN or a 3rd Generation Partnership Project, 3GPP, network. The device includes a memory and a processor. The memory includes a log, the log configured to receive at least one entry comprising an identifier for the first node and a time stamp indicating the time that the device attached to the first node. The processor acts to cause an entry to be added to the log to indicate whether an attempt by the device to attach to a second node has been successful or unsuccessful.

1. A device operable to attach to a first node and a second node, the device comprising:
a memory including a log, the log configured to receive at least one entry comprising an identifier for the first node and a timestamp indicating the time that the device attached to the first node; and a processor operable to cause an entry to be added to the log to indicate whether an attempt by the device to attach to a second node has been successful; wherein one of the first node and the second node operates within a WLAN and the other of the first node and the second node operates within a 3rd Generation Partnership Project, 3GPP, network, wherein if the device successfully attaches to the second node the processor is operable to cause the log to be updated to include the duration the device was attached to the first node and performance information relating to at least a part of the WLAN or 3GPP network the first node operates in, and to provide the node operating within the WLAN with a copy of all or part of the log.
