MINIMIZATION OF DRIVE TESTS DATA AND RADIO LINK FAILURE INFORMATION CORRELATION

摘要

A method, apparatus, system, and computer-readable medium is provided for performing RLF functionality within a trace functionality. As part of trace functionality, RLF information, in the form of one or more RLF reports, is collected. When MDT information is also collected as part of trace functionality, the RLF information and the MDT information is correlated.

主权项

1. A method, comprising:
receiving, at a network element in a radio resource control connected mode, a trace session activation request including a job type parameter indicating minimization of drive tests activation; activating a minimization of drive tests measurements at a user equipment; receiving minimization of drive tests information from the user equipment; associating the minimization of drive tests information with a user equipment context; storing the minimization of drive tests information within a trace record according to the user equipment context; and transmitting the trace record to a collection entity.
