Method, apparatus and system for reporting MDT log result
View Patent ↗A method, a device and a system for reporting a Minimization Drive Test (MDT) log result are disclosed by the present invention for ensuring that the MDT log result can be reported in time. The method includes: after a User Equipment (UE) is re-accessed to a target cell from a original cell, if the UE still stores locally an unreported MDT log result, a log available indication can be sent to the target cell by the UE itself or by an Evolved Node Base station (eNB) managing the original cell, and a managing device of the target cell is notified to request the unreported MDT log result from UE. Therefore, the MDT log result is continued reporting in the target cell, and the target cell obtains the log available indication of the UE in time, initiates an acquiring request for the MDT log result to the UE timely and obtains the reported MDT log result in time, thus the collection for the environment information of a network is completed and the environment information is obtained exactly.
1. A method for reporting a Minimization Drive Test, MDT, log result, comprising:
determining that a User Equipment, UE, accesses a target cell from a source cell and that the UE stores an unreported MDT log result; and
transmitting a message carrying a log availability indication to the target cell to instruct a serving equipment of the target cell to obtain the MDT log result from the UE;
wherein determining that the UE accesses the target cell from the source cell and that the UE stores the unreported MDT log result comprises: the UE determining that the UE is handover to the target cell from the source cell and that the UE stores the unreported MDT log result; and
the transmitting the message carrying the log availability indication to the target cell comprises: the UE carrying the log availability indication in a Radio Resource Control, RRC, Connection Reconfiguration Complete message and transmitting the RRC Connection Reconfiguration Complete message to the target cell.
2. A method for reporting a Minimization Drive Test, MDT, log result, comprising:
determining that a User Equipment, UE, accesses a target cell from a source cell and that the UE stores an unreported MDT log result; and
transmitting a message carrying a log availability indication to the target cell to instruct a serving equipment of the target cell to obtain the MDT log result from the UE; wherein determining that the UE accesses the target cell from the source cell and that the UE stores the unreported MDT log result comprises:
the UE determining that a connection between the UE and the source cell has been broken, that the UE selects the target cell to reestablish a connection and that the UE stores the unreported MDT log result; and
the transmitting the message carrying the log availability indication to the target cell comprises:
the UE carrying the log availability indication in a Radio Resource Control, RRC, Connection Reestablishment Complete message and transmitting the RRC Connection Reestablishment Complete message to the target cell.
3. An apparatus for reporting a Minimization Drive Test, MDT, log result, comprising:
a first processing unit configured to determine that a User Equipment, UE, accesses a target cell from a source cell and that the UE stores an unreported MDT log result; and
a second processing unit configured to transmit a message carrying a log availability indication to the target cell to instruct a serving equipment of the target cell to obtain the MDT log result from the UE;
wherein the first processing unit determining that the UE accesses the target cell from the source cell comprises: determining that the UE is handover to the target cell from the source cell or determining that a connection between the UE and the source cell has been broken and that the UE selects the target cell to reestablish a connection.
4. The apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the apparatus is a UE; and
the second processing unit carries the log availability indication in a Radio Resource Control, RRC, Connection Reconfiguration Complete message and transmits the RRC Connection Reconfiguration Complete message to the target cell when the first processing unit determines that the apparatus itself is handover to the target cell from the source cell and that the apparatus itself stores the unreported MDT log result.
5. The apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the apparatus is a UE; and
the second processing unit carries the log availability indication in a Radio Resource Control, RRC, Connection Reestablishment Complete message and transmits the RRC Connection Reestablishment Complete message to the target cell when the first processing unit determines that a connection between the apparatus itself and the source cell has been broken, that the apparatus itself selects the target cell to reestablish a connection and that the apparatus itself stores locally the unreported MDT log result.
6. The apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the apparatus is a network-side equipment which serves the source cell; and
the second processing unit carries the log availability indication in a Handover Preparation message and transmits the Handover Preparation message to the target cell when the first processing unit determines that the UE is handover to the target cell from the source cell and that the UE stores the unreported MDT log result.
7. The apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the apparatus is a network-side equipment which serves the source cell; and
the second processing unit carries the log availability indication in a message, comprising a UE context, transmitted to the target cell and transmits the message comprising the UE context to the target cell when the first processing unit determines that a connection between the UE and the source cell has been broken, that the UE selects the target cell to reestablish a connection and that the UE stores the unreported MDT log result.
