Abstract

A method and apparatus for use in a mobile device telemetry system is disclosed. The method and apparatus relate to aspects in a mobile device protocol health monitoring system. The method and apparatus provide a system to monitor and assess protocol health, log protocol health data and communicate the logs of protocol health data to a remote system. The system may also take corrective actions based upon specific indications of protocol health. The method and apparatus also provides protocol health indications and corrective actions based upon monitoring the message transmission rate. The method and apparatus also provides protocol health indications and corrective actions based upon monitoring for a line disconnect

Claims44

Dependent claims

A method comprising:

monitoring protocol health in a mobile device network, the protocol health indicating an ability of devices to communicate via the mobile device network and/or a level of interference in the mobile device network, the monitoring comprising monitoring a message transmission rate in the mobile device network, wherein monitoring the message transmission rate comprises:
determining a message transmission rate threshold for the mobile device network, wherein determining the message transmission rate threshold comprises:
iteratively selecting devices in the mobile device network and monitoring each selected device until a device is identified that is communicating via the mobile device network at more than a threshold rate,
in response to identifying a device communicating at more than the threshold rate, setting the identified device as a monitored device and setting a transmission rate of the monitored device as the message transmission rate threshold.
