Presentation modes for radio network measurements

A method of visualizing different components of a communications network, the components comprising user equipment, network cells, and carriers of the network cells, the method comprising:

• receiving a first value associated with a user equipment, a second value associated with a network cell being tracked by the user equipment, and a third value associated with a carrier of the network cell;
• allocating an inner circle region of a pie-view representing a value for one of:
• the user equipment, the network cell, or the carrier, wherein the pie-view display comprises a substantially circular display having a total angle of 360 degrees;
• allocating a middle circle region of the pie-view representing a value for one of:
• the user equipment, the network cell, or the carrier not displayed in the inner circle;
• and
• allocating an outer circle region of the pie-view representing a value for one of:
• the user equipment, the network cell, or the carrier not displayed in the inner circle region and the middle circle region, wherein the inner circle region, the middle circle region, and the outer circle region are configured to collectively represent the first, second, and third values.

A method of visualizing performance of a serving cell in relation to a user equipment (UE) being served by the serving cell, the method comprising:

• determining first and second values of the serving cell, wherein the first and second values are based on measurements of first and second attributes of the serving cell;
• allocating an inner circle portion of a serving cell pie-view display for the first value, wherein the inner circle portion is substantially circular having a total angle of 360 degrees, wherein the serving cell pie-view display comprises the inner circle portion;
• determining a first angle for the second value and determining a first radius, wherein the first angle is based on the second value;
• allocating a first portion of the serving cell pie-view display based on the first angle and the first radius;
• determining a third value of the UE, wherein the third value is based on a measurement of a UE attribute;
• determining a second angle for the third value and determining a second radius, wherein the second angle is based on the third value;
• and
• allocating a second portion of the serving cell pie-view display based on the second angle and the second radius.

A user equipment device for visualizing performance of network cells relative to one another, the user equipment device comprising:

• one or more processors configured to:
• determine a first value of a first network cell and a second value of a second network cell, wherein the first and second values are based on measurements of a first attribute that indicates performance of the first and second network cells;
• allocate a first portion of an available cell pie-view display to be occupied based on the first value and a second portion of the available cell pie-view display to be occupied based on the second value,
• wherein the available cell pie-view display comprises a substantially circular
• display having a total angle of 360 degrees and a display radius, and wherein the first portion is based on the first value and the total angle and the second portion is based on the second value and the total angle,
• determine a third value of the first network cell and a fourth value of the second network cell, wherein the third and fourth values are based on measurements of a second attribute that indicates performance of the first and second network cells, wherein the second attribute is different than the first attribute;
• determine a first radius based on the third value and the display radius and a second radius based on the fourth value and the display radius;
• and
• allocate a third portion of the available cell pie-view display to be occupied based on the first radius and the first portion and a fourth portion of the available cell pie-view display to be occupied based on the second radius and the second portion, wherein the third portion overlaps the first portion and the fourth portion overlaps the second portion, and
• wherein the first, second, third and fourth portions provide visualization of measurements of the first and second network cells relative to each other.

A user equipment device (UE) for visualizing performance of a serving cell in relation to the user equipment device being served by the serving cell, the user equipment device comprising:

• one or more processors configured to:
