Abstract
Apparatuses and methods in a communication system for identifying transient blockage are presented. Transmission to one or more RAN nodes of parameters for the one or more RAN node is controlled to detect occurrences of sharp channel degradation events in connections served by the node. Data is received from the one or more RAN nodes, the data being related to channel or transmission events related to detected sharp channel degradation in connections served by the node. Based on the received data, likelihood is determined that one or more RAN nodes have a high level of transient blockages.
Claims13
An apparatus in a communication system, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one non-transitory memory including computer program code comprising instructions, where the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, are configured to cause the apparatus to:
- control reception of parameters for the apparatus to detect occurrences of sharp channel degradation events in connections served by the apparatus;
- detect one or more occurrences of sharp channel degradation events using the received parameters;
- gather data on channel or transmission events corresponding to the one or more detected sharp channel degradation events;
- control transmission of data on the channel or transmission events related to detected sharp channel degradation in connections served by the apparatus.
A method in an apparatus in a communication system, the method comprising:
- controlling reception of parameters for the apparatus to detect occurrences of sharp channel degradation events in connections served by the apparatus;
- detecting one or more occurrences of sharp channel degradation events using the received parameters;
- gathering data on channel or transmission events corresponding to the one or more detected sharp channel degradation events;
- controlling transmission of data on the channel or transmission events related to detected sharp channel degradation in connections served by the apparatus.
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions for causing an apparatus to at least perform:
- controlling reception of parameters for the apparatus to detect occurrences of sharp channel degradation events in connections served by the apparatus;
- detecting one or more occurrences of sharp channel degradation events using the received parameters;
- gathering data on channel or transmission events corresponding to the one or more detected sharp channel degradation events;
- controlling transmission of data on the channel or transmission events related to detected sharp channel degradation in connections served by the apparatus.
