Systems and methods for sharing of performance-metric data among similarly configured wireless communication devices

摘要

Presently disclosed are systems and methods for wireless communication devices (WCDs) to share relevant performance-metric data with nearby devices having similar configurations. One embodiment takes the form of a method carried out by a WCD. The method includes receiving into a first WCD from a second WCD, via a direct wireless link between the WCDs, data indicating a configuration of the second WCD. The method also includes making a determination as to whether the configuration of the second WCD is at least threshold similar to the configuration of the first WCD and, if so, sharing with the second WCD, via the direct wireless link, performance-metric data for the wireless communication network.

1. A method carried out by a first wireless communication device (WCD), the first WCD having a first configuration including a plurality of modules, the method comprising:
receiving into the first WCD from a second WCD, via a direct wireless link between the first WCD and the second WCD, data indicating a second configuration of the second WCD; based on the data indicating the second configuration, the first WCD making a determination as to whether the second configuration is at least threshold similar to the first configuration, wherein making the determination that the second configuration is at least threshold similar to the first configuration comprises determining that the second configuration includes at least one of the plurality of modules of the first configuration; responsive to the determination being that the second configuration is at least threshold similar to the first configuration, the first WCD sharing with the second WCD, via the direct wireless link, performance-metric data for a wireless communication network; and the second WCD receiving the performance-metric data for the wireless communication network from the first WCD.
