Abstract
A wireless terminal for receiving a health report from a wireless communication network comprising a group of network nodes communicating within the wireless communication network using a first communication technology employing a first frequency band includes: a first wireless interface for communicating according to a second communication technology employing a second frequency band; and a terminal control unit for receiving, via the first wireless interface, at least one health report with health data from at least a first node in the group of network nodes triggered by a health report sending condition being fulfilled in the wireless communication network.
Claims41
A wireless terminal for receiving a health report from a wireless communication network comprising a group of network nodes communicating within the wireless communication network using a first communication technology employing a first frequency band, the wireless terminal comprising:
- a first wireless interface for communicating according to a second communication technology employing a second frequency band;
- and
- a terminal control unit configured to:
- cause a request to be transmitted, via the first communication technology and within the first frequency band, instructing a first node in the group of network nodes to generate and transmit, via the second communication technology and within the second frequency band, a health report with health data;
- and
- receive, via the second communication technology and over the second frequency band, the at least one health report.
A method for receiving a health report from a wireless communication network comprising a group of network nodes communicating within the wireless communication network using a first communication technology employing a first frequency band, the method being performed in a wireless terminal and comprising:
- causing a request to be transmitted, via the first communication technology and within the first frequency band, instructing a first node in the group of network nodes to generate and transmit, via a second communication technology employing a second frequency band, a health report with health data;
- and
- receiving the health report via the second communication technology and over the second frequency band.
A wireless communication network comprising a group of network nodes communicating within the wireless communication network using a first communication technology employing a first frequency band, the network comprising:
- a wireless terminal configured to communicate via a first communication technology employing a first frequency band and via a second communication technology employing a second frequency band;
- a first node in the group of network nodes configured to communicate via the first communication technology and via the second communication technology
- wherein the wireless terminal is further configured to:
- cause a request to be transmitted, via the first communication technology and within the first frequency band, instructing a first node in the group of network nodes to generate and transmit, via the second communication technology and within the second frequency band, a health report with health data;
- and
- receive, via the second communication technology and over the second frequency band, the at least one health report.
A method of enabling sending a health report from a wireless communication network that comprises a group of network nodes communicating within the wireless communication network using a first communication technology employing a first frequency band, the method comprising, with a first node in the group of network nodes:
- receiving, via the first communication technology and within the first frequency band, a request instructing the first node to generate and transmit, via a second communication technology employing a second frequency band, a health report with health data;
- generating the health data in response to the request;
- and
- transmitting the health report using the second communication technology and within the second frequency band in response to the request.
