US 2016/0081012 A1 · METHOD FOR MINIMIZATION OF DRIVE TESTS, METHOD FOR COLLECTING TERMINAL INFORMATION, TERMINAL, AND NETWORK ELEMENT

Abstract

A method for minimization of drive tests, a method for collecting terminal information, a terminal, and a network element, belong to the field of communication technologies. The method includes: in a process of activating a minimization of drive tests MDT task, checking, by a network element, a consent type of a user corresponding to a selected terminal; sending an MDT task activation command to the selected terminal according to a check result of the consent type; after receiving measured data reported by the selected terminal, performing an operation according to a check result of the consent type. In embodiments of the present invention, check on user consent is implemented in a network detection process, thereby avoiding a case that a user equipment is forced to report personal information without permission of the user and improving the user experience.

Dependent claims

A method for minimization of drive tests (MDT), comprising:

receiving, by an access network element, an MDT data reported by a selected terminal;
checking, by the access network element, a user consent type of the selected terminal, wherein the user consent type indicating a reporting mode of the MDT task for the selected terminal, and wherein the reporting mode comprises:
reporting a user identifier or un-reporting a user identifier;
and
if the reporting mode is the reporting a user identifier, sending, by the access network element, a query request to a core network element, wherein the query request is used by the core network element to send the user identifier to an MDT data collection entity.
