Abstract
Various communication systems may benefit from methods, apparatuses, and systems for data collection. For example, wireless communication systems of the third generation partnership project (3GPP) may benefit from data collection in network management layer coverage and capacity optimization. For example, a method may include sending performance measurement job activation indicating that minimization of drive test data is to be collected (in an alternative, the job can be configured to indicate that non-MDT data is to be collected). The method may also include receiving performance measurements in response to the job activation.
Claims21
1-29. (canceled)
A method, comprising:
- receiving a request for performance measurements from an agent;
- receiving measurement reports of minimization of drive test data corresponding to a plurality of user equipment;
- converting user equipment measurement reports to performance measurements;
- and
- transmitting the performance measurements to the agent.
An apparatus, comprising:
- at least one processor, and
- at least one memory including computer program code,
- wherein the at least one memory and the computer program code are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to
- receive performance measurement job activation via a PM interface from a manager indicating that an agent is to collect minimization of drive test data;
- perform performance measurement collection with respect to a network element;
- receive performance measurements or measurement reports from the network element;
- and
- provide the performance measurements to the manager.
An apparatus, comprising:
- at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code,
- wherein the at least one memory and the computer program code are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to
- receive a request for performance measurements from an agent;
- receive measurement reports of minimization of drive test data corresponding to a plurality of user equipment;
- convert user equipment measurement reports to performance measurements;
- and
- transmit the performance measurements to the agent.
An apparatus, comprising:
- means for receiving a request for performance measurements from an agent;
- means for receiving measurement reports of minimization of drive test data corresponding to a plurality of user equipment;
- means for converting user equipment measurement reports to performance measurements;
- and
- means for transmitting the performance measurements to the agent.
