METHODS AND APPARATUS TO PERFORM MEASUREMENTS
Methods and apparatus to perform measurements are disclosed. An example method disclosed herein for a user equipment (UE) comprises receiving configuration information from a network, the configuration information to configure the UE to perform logging of measurements in an idle mode, wherein the configuration information includes a duration, and storing the configuration information at the UE.
1 . A method for a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:
receiving configuration information from a network, the configuration information to configure the UE to perform logging of measurements in an idle mode, wherein the configuration information includes a duration; and
storing the configuration information at the UE.
2 . A method as defined in claim 1 wherein the configuration information is received while the UE is in a connected mode.
3 . A method as defined in claim 2 wherein the idle mode is a radio resource control (RRC) idle mode, and the connected mode is an RRC connected mode.
4 . A method as defined in claim 3 wherein the RRC idle mode and the RRC connected mode are associated with a universal terrestrial radio access network (UTRAN).
5 . A method as defined in any one of claims 1 to 4 wherein the configuration information is received from the network via an RRC message.
6 . A method as defined in any one of claims 1 to 5 further comprising performing logging of measurements while the UE is in the idle mode in accordance with the stored configuration information.
7 . A method as defined in claim 6 further comprising:
starting a timer to track the duration included in the configuration information; and
logging the measurements while the timer is running.
8 . A method as defined in claim 7 further comprising discarding logged measurements after the timer has expired.
9 . A method as defined in any one of claims 6 to 8 further comprising logging timing information while performing logging of the measurements.
10 . A method as defined in any one of claims 6 to 9 further comprising logging location information while performing logging of the measurements.
11 . A method as defined in any one of claims 6 to 10 wherein the measurements are logged at regular time intervals.
12 . A method as defined in claim 6 further comprising keeping a log of the measurements after logging of the measurements has been suspended.
13 . A method comprising:
sending configuration information to a user equipment (UE), the configuration information to configure the UE to perform logging of measurements in an idle mode, wherein the configuration information includes a duration; and
receiving logged measurements from the UE in accordance with the configuration information.
14 . A method as defined in claim 13 wherein the configuration information is sent while the UE is in a connected mode.
15 . A method as defined in claim 14 wherein the idle mode is a radio resource control (RRC) idle mode, and the connected mode is an RRC connected mode.
16 . A method as defined in claim 15 wherein the RRC idle mode and the RRC connected mode are associated with a universal terrestrial radio access network (UTRAN).
17 . A method as defined in any one of claims 13 to 16 wherein the configuration information is sent to the UE via an RRC message.
18 . An article of manufacture storing machine readable instructions which, when executed, cause a machine to perform the method defined in any one of claims 1 to 17 .
19 . An apparatus comprising a processor configured to perform the method defined in any one of claims 1 to 17 .
