Abstract

A method and apparatus for reporting data transmission procedure failure for network optimization in a wireless communication system is provided. A wireless device performs the data transmissions to a network in idle state and/or inactive state. A wireless device detects failures of the data transmissions. A wireless device logs information related to each of the failures and counts a number of the failures, while the logging validity timer is running. A wireless device establishes or resumes a connection with the network based on that the counted number is equal to or bigger than a threshold value.

Claims (60)

1. A method, comprising,

receiving, by a wireless device from a network, information for a Preconfigured Uplink Resource (PUR) for data transmission while in idle state or inactive state;

receiving, by the wireless device from the network, a report configuration information for data logging;

receiving, by the wireless device from the network, information for a threshold value for data transmission based on the PUR;

configuring, by the wireless device, a logging validity timer for failure reporting of data transmissions;

starting, by the wireless device, the logging validity timer upon entering into idle state or inactive state;

attempting, by the wireless device, one or more data transmissions based on the PUR to the network while in idle state or inactive state;

incrementing, by the wireless device, a counter upon detecting a failure of the attempted data transmission based on the PUR;

performing, by the wireless device, the data logging based on the report configuration upon detecting the failure of the attempted data transmission only while the logging validity timer is running,

wherein logged information includes the (i) information informing that the data transmission is attempted based on the PUR, (ii) information related to the detected failure, and (iii) information related to the counter for the detected failure;

establishing or resuming, by the wireless device, a Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection with the network based on the counter being reached to the threshold value; and

transmitting, by the wireless device to the network, the logged information based on the RRC connection.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the establishing or resuming, by the wireless device, the RRC connection with the network further comprises,

establishing or resuming the RRC connection with the network, based on the counter being reached to the threshold value only while of the logging validity timer is running.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein a value for the logging validity timer is a preconfigured by the wireless device.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein a value for the logging validity timer is a configured via broadcast or dedicated signalling by the network.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein a value for the logging validity timer is a fixed value.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises,

transmitting, by the wireless device to the network, a report availability; and

receiving, by the wireless device from the network, an uplink information request in response to the report availability,

wherein the logged information is transmitted to the network upon receiving the uplink information request.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the report availability is transmitted to the network via at least one of Uplink Control Information (UCI), Medium Access Control (MAC) Control Element (CE), or a Radio Resource Control (RRC) message.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises,

stopping, by the wireless device, the logging validity timer upon detecting a successful data transmission; and

resetting, by the wireless device, the number of failures upon detecting the successful data transmission.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the detected failure includes a failure of paging response for mobile-terminated data transmission.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the method further comprises,

stopping, by the wireless device, the logging validity timer upon detecting a successful RRC connection establishment; and

resetting, by the wireless device, the number of failures upon detecting the successful RRC connection establishment.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the logged information related to the each of the failures includes at least one of (1) information related to whether grant for the data transmissions is received, (2) information related to coverage level, (3) information related to whether positive acknowledgement (ACK) is received, (4) information related to whether a negative acknowledgement (NACK) is received, (5) information related to each type of the one or more data transmissions, (6) information related to connection state of the wireless device, (7) information related to a power level, (8) information related to a failure condition, (9) time information, and/or (10) a type of a core network.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises,

wherein the logged information includes information related to signal quality for serving cell and/or neighbor cells.

13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the wireless device is in communication with at least one of a user equipment, a network, or an autonomous vehicle other than the wireless device.

14. A wireless device, comprising:

a transceiver;

a memory; and

at least one processor operatively coupled to the transceiver and the memory, and configured to:

receive, from a network, information for a Preconfigured Uplink Resource (PUR) for data transmission while in idle state or inactive state;

receive, from the network, a report configuration information for data logging;

receive, from the network, information for a threshold value for data transmission based on the PUR;

configure a logging validity timer for failure reporting of data transmissions;

start the logging validity timer upon entering into idle state or inactive state;

attempt one or more data transmissions based on the PUR to the network while in idle state or inactive state;

increment a counter upon detecting a failure of the attempted data transmission based on the PUR;

perform the data logging based on the report configuration upon detecting the failure of the attempted data transmission only while the logging validity timer is running,

wherein logged information includes the (i) information informing that the data transmission is attempted based on the PUR, (ii) information related to the detected failure, and (iii) information related to the counter for the detected failure;

establish or resume a Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection with the network based on the counter being reached to the threshold value; and

transmit, to the network, the logged information based on the RRC connection.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon a plurality of instructions, which, when executed by a processor of a wireless device, cause the wireless device to:

receive, from a network, information for a Preconfigured Uplink Resource (PUR) for data transmission while in idle state or inactive state;

receive, from the network, a report configuration information for data logging;

receive, from the network, information for a threshold value for data transmission based on the PUR;

configure a logging validity timer for failure reporting of data transmissions;

start the logging validity timer upon entering into idle state or inactive state;

attempt one or more data transmissions based on the PUR to the network while in idle state or inactive state;

increment a counter upon detecting a failure of the attempted data transmission based on the PUR;

perform the data logging based on the report configuration upon detecting the failure of the attempted data transmission only while the logging validity timer is running,

wherein logged information includes the (i) information informing that the data transmission is attempted based on the PUR, (ii) information related to the detected failure, and (iii) information related to the counter for the detected failure;

establish or resume a Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection with the network based on the counter being reached to the threshold value; and

transmit, to the network, the logged information based on the RRC connection.
