Triggered statistics reporting

A wireless local area network (WLAN) or other suitable network having a first node, point or terminal that requests a report on the quality of service (QoS) from a second node, point or terminal that generates the report, characterized in that

• the first node, point or terminal provides a measurement request having a reporting rule or condition to the second node, point or terminal for determining when to report the quality of service (QoS).

A node, point or terminal, including an access point (AP), that requests a report on the quality of service (QoS) from another node, point or terminal in a wireless local area network (WLAN) or other suitable network, characterized in that

• the node, point or terminal has a module that provides a measurement request having a reporting rule or condition to the second node, point or terminal for determining when to report the quality of service (QoS).

A node, point or terminal, including a station (STA), for generating a report on the quality of service (QoS) based on a request from another node, point or terminal, including an access point (AP), in a wireless local area network (WLAN) or other suitable network, characterized in that

• the node, point or terminal has a module that receives a request having a reporting rule or condition for determining when to report the quality of service (QoS), and provides the report to the other node based on the rule or condition.

A computer program product with a program code, which program code is stored on a machine readable carrier, for carrying out the steps of a method comprising one or more steps for providing a measurement request having a reporting rule or condition from a first node or point to a second node or point that determines when to report the quality of service (QoS), when the computer program is run in a module of either the first node or point, such as an Access Point (AP), the second node or point, such as a station (STA), or some combination thereof.

A node, point or terminal, including an access point (AP), that requests a report on the quality of service (QoS) from another node, point or terminal in a wireless local area network (WLAN) or other suitable network, characterized in that

• the node, point or terminal has means for providing a measurement request having a reporting rule or condition to the second node, point or terminal for determining when to report the quality of service (QoS).

A node, point or terminal, including a station (STA), for generating a report on the quality of service (QoS) based on a request from another node, point or terminal, including an access point (AP), in a wireless local area network (WLAN) or other suitable network, characterized in that

• the node, point or terminal has means for receiving a request having a reporting rule or condition for determining when to report the quality of service (QoS), and provides the report to the other node based on the rule or condition.

A method for operating a node, point or terminal, including a station (STA), for generating a report on the quality of service (QoS) based on a request from another node, point or terminal, including an access point (AP), in a wireless local area network (WLAN) or other suitable network, characterized in that

• the method comprises one or more steps for receiving a request having a reporting rule or condition for determining when to report the quality of service (QoS), and provides the report to the other node based on the rule or condition.
