NETWORK COVERAGE HOLE DETECTION

摘要

A technology for a user equipment (UE) that is operable to connect to a third generation partnership project (3GPP) long term evolution (LTE) cell in a cellular network. Logged minimization of drive test (MDT) measurements can be recorded at the UE at a selected rate when the UE is in a radio resource control (RRC) idle mode in a first LTE cell in a cellular network. A change in a UE state of the RRC idle mode can be identified. The Logged MDT measurements can stop being recorded at the UE when the UE state changes from a camped normally UE state to another UE state of the RRC idle mode. The Logged MDT measurements can resume being recorded when the UE state changes to the camped normally UE state of the RRC idle mode.

1. A user equipment (UE) operable to connect to a third generation partnership project (3GPP) long term evolution (LTE) cell in a cellular network, having computer circuitry configured to:
record, at the UE, logged minimization of drive test (MDT) measurements at a selected rate when the UE is in a radio resource control (RRC) idle mode in a first LTE cell in a cellular network; identify a change in a UE state of the RRC idle mode; stop recording the Logged MDT measurements at the UE when the UE state changes from a camped normally UE state to another UE state of the RRC idle mode; and resume recording of the Logged MDT measurements when the UE state changes to the camped normally UE state of the RRC idle mode.
