Abstract
A method for monitoring wireless data communication by a user equipment connected to a wireless data network is disclosed. The method, which is performed by the user equipment, comprises the a) receiving at least one signal, wherein the at least one signal comprises at least one characteristic of a wake-up signal, b) determining whether the at least one signal is a wake-up signal or a false alarm wake-up signal, and c) reporting, based on said determining, information on the at least one signal to the wireless data network.
Claims12
A method for monitoring wireless data communication by a user equipment connected to a wireless data network, comprising the following steps performed by the user equipment:
- receiving at least one signal, wherein the at least one signal comprises at least one characteristic of a wake-up signal;
- determining whether the at least one signal is a wake-up signal or a false alarm wake-up signal;
- and
- reporting, based on said determining, information on the at least one signal to the wireless data network,
- wherein reporting information on the at least one signal to the wireless data network includes selectively executing the reporting when the at least one signal is a false alarm wake-up signal, and
- wherein the method further comprises:
- collecting information on the false alarm wake-up signals of the plurality of received signals;
- and
- collectively reporting information on the false alarm wake-up signals of the plurality of received signals to the wireless data network, and
- wherein collecting information on the false alarm wake-up signals includes information regarding the geographical location of the user equipment at the point of time of receiving each of the false alarm wake-up signals.
A user equipment adapted for establishing a wireless data communication with a wireless data network and comprising a low-power receiver and a main receiver, control circuitry, memory, and program code stored in memory, wherein the program code is executed by the control circuitry to configure the user equipment to monitor the wireless data communication by:
- receiving at least one signal, wherein the at least one signal comprises at least one characteristic of a wake-up signal;
- determining whether the at least one signal is a wake-up signal or a false alarm wake-up signal;
- and
- reporting, based on said determining, information on the at least one signal to the wireless data network, wherein the reporting information on the at least one signal includes selectively executing the reporting when the at least one signal is a false alarm wake-up signal, and
- wherein the user equipment is further adapted to monitor the wireless data communication by:
- collecting information on the false alarm wake-up signals of the plurality of received signals;
- and
- collectively reporting information on the false alarm wake-up signals of the plurality of received signals to the wireless data network, and
- wherein collecting information on the false alarm wake-up signals includes information regarding the geographical location of the user equipment at the point of time of receiving each of the false alarm wake-up signals.
A node of a wireless data network adapted for establishing a wireless data communication with a user equipment and having a receiver, control circuitry, memory, and program code stored in memory, wherein the program code is executed by the control circuitry to configure the network node to monitor the wireless data communication by:
- receiving information reported by the user equipment, wherein the reported information refers to at least one signal which is determined by the user equipment as a false alarm wake-up signal, wherein the information on the false alarm wake-up signals includes information regarding the geographical location of the user equipment at the point of time of receiving each of the false alarm wake-up signals;
- and
- adapting the at least one signal based on the information for further transmission of the at least one signal.
