CONSIDERING PRIVACY WHEN USING AREA-BASED MINIMIZATION OF DRIVE-TESTS (MDT)

摘要

A method is disclosed, comprising maintaining (402), in a network apparatus, a threshold value regarding a minimum number of user terminals in a predefined area of a network. The apparatus determines (404) a value of a counter regarding a number of active user terminals currently located in said area, and compares (405) the threshold value and the value of the counter. If, based on the comparing, it is found out (406) that the value of the counter is below the threshold value, the method comprises defining (407), in the network apparatus, that the activation of a minimization of drive-tests function is not allowed in said area.
