Abstract

A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may comprise a processor configured to determine that a data collection configuration is not available from a direct data collection client (DDCC) of the WTRU. The processor may send a request associated with the data collection configuration to an application server, wherein the request comprises an application identifier, an indication of a user profile, and a protocol data unit (PDU) session identifier. The processor may receive the data collection configuration, wherein the data collection configuration comprises data collection policies that indicate conditions upon which the WTRU is to collect the data, and wherein the data collection policies indicate whether and where the WTRU is to send the collected data.

Claims (37)

1 . A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) comprising:

a processor configured to:

determine that a data collection configuration is not available from a direct data collection client (DDCC) of the WTRU;

send a request associated with the data collection configuration to an application server, wherein the request comprises an application identifier, an indication of a user profile, and a protocol data unit (PDU) session identifier; and

receive the data collection configuration, wherein the data collection configuration comprises data collection policies that indicate conditions upon which the WTRU is to collect data, and wherein the data collection policies indicate whether and where the WTRU is to send the collected data.

2 . The WTRU of claim 1 , wherein the conditions indicated by the data collection policies comprise a time limit, a size limit, location of the WTRU, a speed of the WTRU, a battery level of the WTRU, or a data activity of the WTRU.

3 . The WTRU of claim 1 , wherein the data collection policies indicate whether and where the WTRU is to send the collected data based on (i) location of the WTRU, (ii) a data type associated with the collected data, (iii) network conditions, or (iv) time.

4 . The WTRU of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to:

send the collected data in accordance with the data collection configuration.

5 . The WTRU of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to:

send a request to the DDCC for the data collection configuration, wherein the request comprises the application identifier and the indication of the user profile;

receive a response from the DDCC that indicates that the data collection configuration does not exist at the DDCC; and

determine that the data collection configuration is not available from the DDCC based on the response from the DDCC.

6 . The WTRU of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to determine the PDU session identifier via use of attention (AT)-commands.

7 . The WTRU of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to receive the PDU session identifier from the DDCC.

8 . The WTRU of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to determine the PDU session identifier via an instantiation of a data collection adaptation layer (DCAL) layer.

9 . The WTRU of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to receive the data collection configuration at an application layer via the DDCC.

10 . The WTRU of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to:

validate the data collection configuration based on a comparison between the data collection policies of the data collection configuration and a configuration received from a radio access network (RAN).

11 . A method performed by a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU), the method comprising:

determining that a data collection configuration is not available from a direct data collection client (DDCC) of the WTRU;

sending a request associated with the data collection configuration to an application server, wherein the request comprises an application identifier, an indication of a user profile, and a protocol data unit (PDU) session identifier; and

receiving the data collection configuration, wherein the data collection configuration comprises data collection policies that indicate conditions upon which the WTRU is to collect data, and wherein the data collection policies indicate whether and where the WTRU is to send the collected data.

12 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the conditions indicated by the data collection policies comprise a time limit, a size limit, location of the WTRU, a speed of the WTRU, a battery level of the WTRU, or a data activity of the WTRU.

13 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the data collection policies indicate whether and where the WTRU is to send the collected data based on (i) location of the WTRU, (ii) a data type associated with the collected data, (iii) network conditions, or (iv) time.

14 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the method further comprises:

sending the collected data in accordance with the data collection configuration.

15 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the method further comprises:

sending a request to the DDCC for the data collection configuration, wherein the request comprises the application identifier and the indication of the user profile;

receiving a response from the DDCC that indicates that the data collection configuration does not exist at the DDCC; and

determining that the data collection configuration is not available from the DDCC based on the response from the DDCC.

16 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the method further comprises determining the PDU session identifier via use of attention (AT)-commands.

17 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the method further comprises receiving the PDU session identifier from the DDCC.

18 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the method further comprises determining the PDU session identifier via an instantiation of a data collection adaptation layer (DCAL) layer.

19 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the method further comprises receiving the data collection configuration at an application layer via the DDCC.

20 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the method further comprises:

validating the data collection configuration based on a comparison between the data collection policies of the data collection configuration and a configuration received from a radio access network (RAN).
