A call manager 320 is arranged to manage the storage and retrieval of CDRs to/from a CDR repository 324, including user selection 330 of CDRs of a specific type of calls and execution of a "drill down" operation in which details of indivi dual frames that make up a selected call can be obtained from the file repository 314, upon request from a user input 330, for detailed data analysis. Hence, rather than limiting analysis to the CDRs, which contain only a specific subset of information, a more comprehensive detail signalling analysis is made available.

DETECTING LOCATIONS OF POOR NETWORK COVERAGE IN A MOBILE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK

Holes in network coverage ("roaming locations") are detected by identifying where a mobile subscriber drops a call and initiates a new call (roams) in a foreign network. The call detail records relating to foreign network calls (roaming CDRs) are collected and the cell of the calls correlated with a registered address (e.g. home address) of the mobile subscriber. The registered address is then likely to be an area of weak network coverage if there are a number of such correlations. Spatial clusters of registered addresses corresponding to roaming CDRs can be used to identify network holes. A roaming call made within a time interval of a first call can also be used to identify holes in network coverage.

Automated network coverage hole detection by systematically modifying a connection reestablishment timer (T311) in a number of UEs

An automated coverage hole detection (CHD) method based on modifying the setting of a specific reconnection timer of a UE (12) in, e.g., an LTE-based cellular wireless network. Physical Radio Link Failure (RLF) events of the UEs, possibly indicative of a coverage hole, are monitored (S10). At least some of the UEs in a given cell are selected for modifying their parameter setting (S30, S40, S50). For UEs that do not have advanced logging and reporting capabilities upon the physical RLF, the existence of a coverage hole is detected by analyzing (S70) the correlation between the settings of a RRC connection re-establishment timer (T311) and the probability for the UE (12) to transit to RRC_IDLE mode. The settings of the timer are systematically adjusted (S60) via eNB (11) signalling to evaluate the characteristics of the observed Radio Link Failures or call drops. For networks that serve a combination of UEs of differing capabilities (e.g. Rel 8/9, Rel 10 or later), the proposed CHD method ...

A first access point in a WLAN is associated to a client device so that the first access point can send data to, and/or receive data from, the client device on a second communication channel. The client device is disassociated from the first access point and is associated to a second access point. A working channel of the first access point is switched from the second communication channel to a first communication channel and one or more performance measurements are made in respect of the first communication channel at the first access point. The performances measurements may include measurements of the noise on a channel or the contention level on the channel. The performance measurements may be made on the first communication channel at a proxy access point. The first communication channel may be identified and it may be determined which of the first access point’s channels has provided the least recent performance data.

Method and Apparatus for Triggering and Reporting Diverse Traffic Information in Cellular Networks

A method of triggering and reporting traffic statistics in a cellular network is proposed. A UE establishes an RRC connection with a base station. The UE collects traffic statistics upon detecting a trigger event. The traffic statistics comprises packet inter-arrival time. The trigger event may be detected by the UE or by the base station. The UE then determines a representation of the traffic statistics and report the result to the base station. The report may be triggered by the UE or by the base station based on another trigger event. Upon receiving the traffic statistics, the base station determines RRC reconfiguration parameters. In one example, DRX timer values are determined based on intra-burst packet inter-arrival time. In another example, RRC release timer is determined based on inter-burst packet inter-arrival time. 1. A method , comprising:establishing a radio resource control (RRC) connection by a base station with a user equipment (UE) in a mobile communication network;transmitting a measurement configuration to the UE upon detecting a trigger event, wherein the measurement configuration specifies a measurement object for traffic statistics collection;receiving a report of the traffic statistics from the UE; anddetermining RRC reconfiguration parameters based on the received report of the traffic statistics.2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the traffic statistics comprises a cumulative distribution function (CDF) or a probability density function (PDF) of packet inter-arrival time or packet size.3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the trigger event is associated with the RRC connection establishment claim 1 , a loading condition claim 1 , a request from a core network or an upper layer claim 1 , low resource utilization claim 1 , and frequent failure events indicated by the UE.4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:transmitting a reporting request to the UE for reporting the traffic statistics upon detecting a second trigger event.5. The method ...
