Abstract
Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to methods and apparatus for performing minimization of drive test (MDT) operations. For example, certain aspects provide a method for wireless communication. The method generally includes receiving, at a radio access network (RAN), a measurement configuration to start a trace of a user-equipment (UE), determining a transition of the UE to an inactive state, and sending one or more messages to coordinate the trace of the UE or indicate that the trace has failed in response to the determination.
Claims29
A method for wireless communication, comprising:
- determining, at a user-equipment (UE), location information associated with an out of coverage area, the location information being determined based on a location of the UE and data from one or more sensors;
- and
- reporting the location information to a network entity.
A method for wireless communication, comprising:
- receiving, at a first radio access network (RAN), a measurement configuration to start a trace of a user-equipment (UE);
- determining a transition of the UE to an inactive state;
- and
- sending one or more messages to coordinate the trace of the UE or indicate that the trace has failed in response to the determination.
A method for wireless communication, comprising:
- detecting whether a user-equipment (UE) is in an inactive state;
- determining a measurement configuration to start a trace of the UE, the measurement configuration being determined based on whether the UE is in the inactive state;
- generating a message comprising the measurement configuration;
- and
- sending the message to a radio access network to (RAN) coordinate the trace.
A method for wireless communication, comprising:
- receiving a message having a measurement configuration to start a trace of a UE, the UE being in an inactive state;
- generating another message having the measurement configuration to start the trace;
- and
- transmitting the other message to the UE.
