Abstract:
A method includes determining at a User Equipment (UE) that logged Minimization of Drive Tests measurements (MDT) is configured and thus a plurality of MDT measurements are to be made and results of said measurements are to be stored for reporting at a later time. It is determined that said measurements are to be stopped (suspended) for various reasons (such as the UE being in any cell selection mode or camping on any cell) and information indicating a reason why said measurements are to be stopped (suspended) is stored in the measurement log.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for packet delay measurement are provided. One method may include sending, by a network node, a grant in uplink to a user equipment that previously indicated a need for data transmission for quality of service (QoS) class identifier (QCI) services. The method may then include storing a time of the uplink grant to the user equipment, and measuring a time point when a last part of a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) serving data unit (SDU) related to QCI services has been confirmed by sending an acknowledgement to the user equipment.
Abstract:
An apparatus, method and computer program product for: interfacing with at least a first radio access network function and a second radio access network function, sending a first message to the first radio access network function and a second message to the second radio access network function, the first message and the second message comprising a request to report information based on at least one criterion, receiving the reported information from the first radio access network function and the second radio access network function, and grouping the reported information and providing the grouped information to at least one radio access network optimization algorithm.
Abstract:
These teachings present a new minimization of drive test MDT mode which is valid when the user equipment UE is in an idle state and in a connected state and across the state transitions. The extended logged MDT configuration according to this mode may be configured for the UE by the network, or autonomously by the UE itself. In some embodiments it is associated with the UE reporting its preference for power optimized configuration indication. Some embodiments have a minimum threshold to assure any MDT report from this mode has a sufficient volume of data or sufficient number of data points logged, and so is well suited for smart phones with always-on applications. The parameters such as logging periodicity can differ between the idle and connected state even for a given extended logged MDT configuration.
Abstract:
There are disclosed measures for enhancing network performance monitoring. Such measures may for example comprise receiving a report on measurements of terminal-related network performance parameters from a terminal, acquiring information of access network-related network performance parameters, and combining the received terminal-related network performance parameters and the acquired access network-related network performance parameters into a combined network performance report.

Abstract:
There are provided measures for evaluation of throughput of carrier aggregated user equipments. Such measures exemplarily include determining, per communication endpoint implementing carrier aggregation aggregating one primary connection and at least one secondary connection, a transmission volume with at least one activated secondary connection, determining, per communication endpoint implementing carrier aggregation aggregating one primary connection and at least one secondary connection, a time with transmission data in a transmission buffer and at least one activated secondary connection, and obtaining, per communication endpoint, a transmission throughput with at least one activated secondary connection, based on said transmission volume and said time.
